At my house growing up, roasted peppers were one of our favorites! We couldn't get enough, and always rationed them out to make sure everyone had a fair share. ;)
This side dish tastes is full of flavor and tastes like a delicacy, but they are so easy to make! I know bell peppers can be expensive, so I look for them to go on sale at Sprouts.
Roasted Peppers
You will need:
2-3 Large bell peppers (red, orange, yellow or green)
1-2 Cloves of garlic
2 Tablespoons olive oil
Lemon juice to taste
1. Wash your peppers and cut in half vertically. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
2. Place the peppers inside down on a baking sheet covered in parchment paper.
3. Roast your peppers in the oven for 45-6- min or until the blackens and skin separates from the pepper.
4. Let your peppers cool for about 15-20 minutes, then peel off the skin off your peppers.
5. Slice the peppers into strips.
6. Place your peppers in a bowl and crush garlic cloves in. Add olive oil and stir. Note: the more garlic you add, the spicier the peppers will taste. Its all up to preference.
Squeeze in some lemon juice and enjoy on bread!
