Roasted Red Bell Peppers

Roasting your own red bell peppers is completely easy and well worth the added flavor from what you can get in a jar.

Roasted Red Bell Peppers

Rinse bell peppers.

Place under broiler, on grill, or over an open flame until skin begins to blacken and blister.

Turn peppers occasionally to blacken all sides.

 

Place hot peppers in a glass bowl and cover with seran wrap (you can also put them in a brown paper bag and fold down the opening).

Let sit for 10 minutes.

Remove peppers and cut in half.

Remove seeds, ribs and stem.

Peel off skin (should come away easily).

And that's it!
You should be left with the deliciously flavored flesh (just be sure not to rinse off in water - that will get rid of some of the great smoky flavor.
