Easy Italian Roasted Red Peppers

Step 1

Set oven to broil setting or 500 F degrees.

Step 2

Put the bell peppers on a oil sprayed, foil lined baking sheet.

Step 3

Place peppers in oven and set time for 15 minutes. The skin of the peppers will begin to turn black which means the skin is separating from the flesh which, it is supposed to do.

Step 4

When the timer rings, carefully turn peppers over and return to oven for five more minutes so the other side can blacken.

Step 5

After the other side of peppers has blackened five only minutes later, remove peppers from oven and let cool five minutes.

Step 6

While peppers are still hot, carefully remove the burnt skin with a fork and knife. Discard stem and all seeds. Although it is easier, do NOT run peppers under water to remove seeds because you will wash away the pepper juice that gives so much flavor to this recipe.

Step 7

Cut the pepper flesh into strips and put in a bowl with remaining ingredients.
