Peppers: Roast Your Own
Roasted peppers should be a staple of your kitchen cupboard. They're a great, healthy way to add instant zest to sandwiches and salads, and they're a good complement to meat and poultry. If buying jarred roasted peppers is taking a toll on your wallet, try roasting them at home it takes minimal effort and you'll notice (and love!) the difference in their fresh flavor. To roast, simply coat each whole pepper with about a teaspoon of olive oil
(a pastry brush comes in handy for this) and roast in the oven at 450° for
about
20 minutes or until the skin turns black. Take the peppers out of the oven and place them in a paper bag for about 10 minutes to allow the steam to loosen the skin. Then simply remove the skin, stem, and seeds; slice; season with any herbs and spices you like (fresh oregano, basil, and parsley work well); and add to your dishes. It's that easy!
