Oven Roasted Peppers

Oven Roasted Peppers can be used in sandwiches, to make soups and a whole lot more. Add this simple technique to your cooking repertoire!

This Roasted Peppers Recipe is perfect for sandwiches, salads, an addition to a cheeseboard, and more!!

Why You Must Make

• This is a recipe from Dorie Greenspan, so you know it’s tasty plus tried and true!
• Roasted bell peppers are super easy to make.
• The colorful peppers make a beautiful statement no matter how you serve them.

We are in the last stretch of  French Fridays with Dorie. I think we’ll finish with the cookbook sometime in the spring of next year. So it’s the odds and ends of recipes, like these simple Oven Roasted Peppers that have been showing up in our monthly queue.

Plus there are those dishes that we’re all a little leery of scheduling, like aspic! But at least this recipe was not daunting in the least. I imagine most of us in the group have roasted peppers a time or two. I purchased some crusty rolls and some buffalo mozzarella and planned to make some lovely sandwiches for my weekend lunches with these sweet peppers which were drizzled with olive oil and sprinkled with herbs from my garden.

Ingredient Notes

• Kitchen Staples – Olive Oil
• Red and/or yellow Bell Peppers – Two colors make a beautiful, vibrant presentation. Add orange peppers, too, if desired.
• Herbs – Try parsley, basil, rosemary, thyme or a combination
• Garlic Cloves – Peeled and thinly sliced
• Aged Balsamic Vinegar – Optional, but recommended. I used an 18-year-old balsamic vinegar to drizzle before serving.

Tips for Roasting Peppers

• The method is simple. Place the peppers on a lined, rimmed baking sheet and slide into a hot oven. Lining the pan with parchment makes for easier cleanup and a rimmed baking sheet keeps the juices from spilling onto the oven floor.
• Turn every 15 minutes until all sides are blistered and browned.
• Remove the peppers to a bowl and cover. This allows the steam of the hot peppers to lift the skin away from the flesh. This makes for easy peeling.
• Remove the skin, stems and seeds, then slice and drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• From this point, they can be stored in the fridge till you’re ready to use them.

When Bill saw these sitting on the counter, he asked if he could toss these oven-roasted peppers. Ahem. He was dead serious. At least he asked! I guess he’s not as enthusiastic about roasted peppers as I am. I have a feeling he’d eat these if I added them to pasta with a little sausage and cream, though. He just wasn’t enticed by the lot of them parked in a Tupperware container.

One time, a couple of years ago, I  had reduced an Asian rib sauce to syrupy perfection and left it parked in the pan on the cooktop. Mr. Clean Up (I’ll never complain about this deal we have: I cook, he cleans) dumped the contents and scrubbed the pan before I even basted the ribs once. So we’ve made progress here. And I now have a bonne idee for a dinner later in the week!

P.S. I’ve included Dorie’s oven-roasted peppers recipe this week as it’s basically the way I have always roasted peppers. I also drizzled mine with some aged balsamic vinegar, perfect for a midday nosh or tossed with pasta for a light dinner.

Tip #38: From my friend Sophia, of NY-Foodgasm: Don’t set lofty goals. Instead, think of an attainable goal like walking around the block each day or skipping your afternoon soda. Give it at least a week, and once that becomes a habit, add another goal. Your success will help motivate you to continue down the path to good health.
