Susan's Italian Roasted Red Peppers

Step 1

Line baking sheet with aluminum foil.

Step 2

Wash WHOLE red bell peppers and lightly rub a tiny bit of olive oil to the skin on all side.

Step 3

Lay them side by side on baking sheet in two rows.

Step 4

Place in the over on broil and broil them until the skin blackens quite a bit. (about 9-12 minutes per side).

Step 5

As one side darkens, take them out and continue to roast all sides until the peppers are evenly charred.

Step 6

Place in a bowl or baking dish and cover in saran wrap to let them "steam" for 20 minutes (This will help to release the charred skin and maintain the sweet inner flesh).

Step 7

Pull the tops off the peppers and be sure to save any release pepper juices in the dish you plan to place them. Remove all the charred flesh by tugging on it (should come off in sheets if steamed enough).

Step 8

Removed seeds and rinse lightly under water, if necessary, to get all seeds out.

Step 9

Place in bowl and add the olive oil, garlic and parsley. Mix well and serve at room temperature.
