Olive Oil Roasted Peppers
Description
This recipe calls for medium-sized bell peppers cut into quarters, seeds and membranes removed, and coated with olive oil and a blend of salt, black pepper, garlic powder, dried oregano, and red pepper flakes. Roasting at 450°F for about 20 minutes softens the peppers while charring spots add smoky undertones and texture contrast.
The seasoning mix brings herbs and gentle heat that complement the sweet, tender bell peppers. Not turning the peppers during roasting allows them to develop concentrated flavors on the exposed surfaces.
These roasted peppers can be served immediately as a flavorful side or antipasti dish. Their bright colors make them suitable for presentations, and their textures work for a warm or cold accompaniment.
Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days. To serve again, gently reheat at low microwave power or enjoy cold, preserving their texture and flavor balance without needing peeling after roasting.
Ingredients
- 4 bell pepper medium-sized
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt or ¼ teaspoon of any other salt, including Morton kosher salt, Diamond Crystal brand
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon oregano dried
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with high-heat-resistant parchment paper or foil.
- Cut the bell peppers into quarters, then remove the seeds and membranes.
- Place the peppers on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle them with olive oil and use your hands to coat them well.
- Sprinkle the peppers with salt, pepper, garlic powder, oregano, and red pepper flakes.
- Roast until tender and charred in spots, about 20 minutes. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Using a mix of bell pepper colors enhances both appearance and flavor complexity.
- Peppers do not require flipping during roasting to develop charred spots.
- Omitting peeling after roasting simplifies preparation and retains texture.
- Store leftovers in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 4 days and reheat gently or serve cold as antipasti.
