Oven-Roasted Peppers

By Joschef

Ingredients

• 6 yellow or red sweet peppers $ 1.2 kg
• 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil $ 30 mL
• salt to taste
• ground pepper to taste

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 215°C/425°F.
2. Clean the peppers with a wet towel, pat dry, and place into an ovensafe dish or a roasting pan. Cook in the middle of the oven about 30 min, or until peppers are soft and browned in spots. Turn them a couple times during cooking.
3. Remove from oven, cover or wrap in a paper bag, and let cool down about 15-20 min (the moisture kept in the bag or under the cover will help the peeling). Remove the stem. Peel and cut each pepper lengthwise into 3-4 strips and remove seeds. Drain in a colander for about 30 min.
4. Add salt and pepper to taste only when ready to use. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil. Serve.
