Ingredients

  • 4 large red bell peppers
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • Salt to taste
  • Red chili flakes for garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Slice the red peppers in half lengthwise. Remove the seeds, stems and innards.
  • Set the peppers onto a baking sheet skin sides up (aluminum foil or parchment paper will make for easy cleanup), and bake for 20-30 minutes, until the skins are blackened and blistered, turning occasionally to evenly roast the peppers.
  • Allow the peppers to cool enough to handle. Transfer them to a glass bowl and cover them with plastic wrap or a paper towel, or place them into baggies or paper bags to let the skins steam and loosen.
  • Carefully peel away or rub off and discard the charred skins.
  • Use as desired. For a snack or side dish, chop them, add to bowl then drizzle with oil and sprinkle with salt and chili flakes.
