How to Roast Red Peppers

There are many of you out there who may already know how to do this. This is a new thing for me and I wish I would have known how to do this years ago. It would have saved me money and calories as I would not have had to rely on roasted red peppers soaked in oil.

How to Roast Red Peppers

1. Arrange your oven rack so that it is 5-6 inches from the broiler element.
2. Turn your broiler on high.
3. Place your peppers on a heavy lidded baking pan and put them in the oven.
4. Every five minutes or once the side has been charred black, turn the pepper. It should take 15-20 minutes.
5. When the peppers are soft and charred on each side, remove the peppers and place them in a large bowl. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap. 
6. Once the peppers have cooled, remove the skin, the seeds and the stem.
7. Chop up and enjoy.
