ROASTED RED PEPPERS

KITCHEN TOOLS NEEDED

Baking sheet lined with aluminum foil and sprayed with non-stick cooking spray or glazed with a little bit of olive oil.
Plastic sandwich bag.

INGREDIENTS

2 sweet red bell peppers

INSTRUCTIONS

-Cut off the top and bottom of the red peppers. Clean the insides out.

-Slice the peppers in half so you have two pieces. Place them SKIN SIDE UP on baking sheet lined with aluminum foil and non-stick cooking spray or olive oil.

-Put tray on the top rack in the oven and BROIL for 15 minutes. **Broiling is a lot like toasting bread in a toaster. No pre-heating required as the heating grill starts heating right away.

-After 15 minutes, remove peppers from the oven. If the skin is black, GOOD! That’s what you want.

-Put peppers in a sealed sandwich bag and store in fridge for 30 minutes to cool. The peppers will marinate in the bag. They will also get pretty slimy. That’s ok.

-Remove from fridge after 30 minutes and remove the skin. The skin will peel off quite easily. Chop and serve.
