Ingredients

Recipe

• 1 heat oven to 450f degrees.
• 2 wash peppers and cut in half.
• 3 remove seeds and stems.
• 4 place upside down (skin side up) on a cookie sheet coated with olive oil spray.
• 5 bake for 10-15 minutes or so, until skin of pepper is seriously black.
• 6 make sure there are no sparks or actively burning ashes on the peppers and place peppers in a brown bag for about 10-15 minutes. this steams the peppers so the skins easily peel off. rinsing peppers takes away all the roasted flavor, so don't let me catch you doing that.
• 7 let cool so you can touch them.
• 8 skin will peel off easily.
• 9 cut halves into strips, or however you need them to be cut.

• 11 good for: chicken, cheese sauces, tomato sauces, topped on foccacia bread, or a million other things!
• 12 you can also roast a pepper by placing it directly on the burner of a gas stove (not electric!) turning with tongs every few minutes till skin is black. continue with paper bag step.
