Roasted Bell Peppers
Description
This recipe starts by halving and deseeding red or yellow bell peppers, then roasting them skin-side up in a 400°F oven until the skins blister and the peppers become tender, approximately 35 to 40 minutes. After roasting, the peppers are covered and steamed briefly to loosen the skins, which are peeled off for a smooth texture.
The peeled peppers are sliced and combined with minced garlic, extra virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, dried oregano, granulated sugar, and kosher salt. Tossing these ingredients together allows the flavors to meld, bringing acidity, sweetness, and herbaceous notes that complement the natural sweetness of roasted peppers. Letting the mixture rest for at least 30 minutes enhances the flavor integration.
Before serving, sprinkle chopped roasted pistachios on top for texture and a subtle nutty taste. The peppers can be served as a salad, a topping for bruschetta, or included in sandwiches to add moisture and flavor. The recipe offers a straightforward way to amplify the natural flavors of bell peppers through roasting and seasoning.
Ingredients
- 8 bell pepper red or yellow - cut into halves
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon oregano dried
- 1 teaspoon sugar granulated white
- kosher salt to taste
- 2 tablespoons pistachios chopped, roasted
Instructions
- First, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Next, slice the peppers in half lengthwise and remove the seeds.
- Arrange them in a single layer skin side up on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes.
- After that, add the pepper immediately to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let them steam for 10-15 minutes. This will make peeling them very easy.
- When the peppers cool enough to handle, peel them and discard the skin. Next, slice them lengthwise and add them to a medium bowl.
- Now, add the olive oil, vinegar, garlic, oregano, salt, and sugar and gently toss to combine everything.
- Finally, let the flavors meld for at least 30 minutes before serving, and refrigerate in the meantime.
