Pepper Roasting 101

Roasted red peppers, ahhhh slightly sweet, super savory and just right at home on my wee fork.

My little roasty toasty friend

I am sure most of the people that happen past my little home on the web know how to roast a pepper.
In case you don't though, here is a quick Pepper Roasting 101 for ya!

Step 1 - Wash a nice plump, firm pepper to get all the yucky pesticides off.
(Pepper good, pesticides not so good)

Step 2- Turn on broiler and place pepper or peppers in oven on top rack

Step 3- Allow broiler to work its magic. Allow pepper to blacken and crack on all sides.
Usually about 15 or so minutes

Step 4- Remove pepper from oven and place on a sheet of foil.
Tightly wrap and let sit on counter for ten minutes.
This let's the pepper do some "alone time" cooking.

Step 5- After the time is up, cut the stem out of the pepper,
slice it open flat and scrap out all those little seeds

Step 6- Place the pepper whole in storage or slice it up.
You have some tasty, terrific roast pepper for wraps, pasta or salads.

Can I hear a yum yum?
