These Homemade Roasted Red Peppers are sweet, smoky, and easy to prepare. A flavorful and healthy alternative to jarred versions, they’re perfect for salads, sandwiches, sauces, and meal prep.

Ingredients

  • Fresh red bell peppers (as many as desired)
  • Olive oil (optional, for storing)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper (optional, for flavoring)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Cut peppers in half lengthwise, remove seeds and membranes. Rinse and pat dry.
  3. Place peppers cut-side down on baking sheet. Roast for about 25 minutes until skins are blistered and blackened.
  4. Remove from oven and cover with a clean towel. Let steam for 15–20 minutes.
  5. Peel off and discard skins.
  6. Store in an airtight container. Optionally drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

Notes

  • Use a mix of red, yellow, and orange peppers for visual variety.
  • Add garlic or balsamic vinegar for enhanced flavor before storing.
  • Freeze roasted peppers for up to 2 months.
  • Char peppers on a gas stove or grill for added smokiness.
  • Peeling after roasting improves texture and taste.
