Roasted Peppers

This is a dish I grew up with and still love serving the same simple way: sweet roasted peppers, good olive oil, garlic and just enough acidity to make everything bright. It is beautiful on an antipasto platter, with grilled meat, or tucked into a sandwich.

The recipe

Ingredients

Method

  1. 1

    Heat the oven to 450°F.

  2. 2

    Place the whole peppers on a baking sheet and roast for 30–35 minutes, turning a few times, until the skins are blistered and blackened in spots.

  3. 3

    Transfer the hot peppers to a bowl and cover tightly for 15 minutes. The steam will loosen the skins.

  4. 4

    Peel the peppers, remove the stems and seeds, and tear or slice the flesh into wide strips.

  5. 5

    Arrange the peppers in a shallow dish and add the garlic.

  6. 6

    Drizzle with olive oil and vinegar, then season with salt and pepper.

  7. 7

    Let the peppers marinate for at least 20 minutes before serving.

  8. 8

    Finish with fresh parsley or basil.

Notes

Store the peppers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
