Roasted Red Peppers

Roasted red peppers make a great ingredient in a lot of dishes. You can make soup, sauces, serve it as a side, blend it into hummus, top pizza or salad, or many other options. This coming week I will post two recipes using roasted red peppers.

To make,

Preheat the oven to 400
 Grease a baking sheet and place your peppers on it.
Put in the oven and bake until the skins blacken. Make sure to turn them onto a different side every 10 minutes or so.

As soon as they are mostly black, take them out of the oven and put the peppers in a paper bag and fold down the top. Let sit until the peppers cool enough to handle.

Then you can take them out and peel off the skin and pull out all the seeds.
