Ingredients

  • 3-4 Peppers any mixture of colors
  • 1-2 Tbsp Olive oil extra virgin
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat the outdoor grill or broiler to medium high-high
  • If using the grill, put peppers directly on the grill grates and close lid. If using the broiler, put the peppers on a parchment paper lined tray and keep the oven door slightly open.
  • Once peppers start to brown or char, turn them using tongs. Keep turning until all sides are browned or charred.
  • Approx cooking time is 20 minutes.
  • Take peppers off the grill or out of the broiler and let them rest until cooled, approx. 1/2 hour.
  • While peppers are cooling, mix olive oil, minced garlic, kosher salt and pepper in a bowl.
  • Once peppers have cooled, peel them, remove the seeds and then slice.
  • Put peppers into the olive oil mixture.
  • Adjust seasoning to taste.

Notes

If broiling the peppers make sure the peppers do not touch the broiler coils. If this happens, move the rack down a level and put a baking sheet (turned upside down) under the pan. This will elevate the peppers closer to the heat.
Roasted peppers are great alone, in salads, and/or in sandwiches.
Fresh herbs and/or capers can be added.
Store peppers in a container and refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
