Classic roasted peppers

1 batch

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
Red bell peppers
Olive oil

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 400øF.

2. Rub the peppers lightly with olive oil. Place them on a cookie sheet or in a shallow roasting pan and put them into the oven. Turn every 10 minutes until the peppers are soft, wrinkled, and well charred, about 30 minutes.

3. Put the peppers in a paper bag, close the bag, and let the peppers cool for 10 minutes. (This makes them easier to peel.) 4. Holding the peppers over a bowl to catch the juices, peel the charred skin from the peppers and discard. Remove and discard the seeds. Save the juices. Never peel peppers under water; you'll lose mush of their flavor.

Can be refrigerated for 3 or 4 days.
