Health Benefits

High in Vitamin C: Roasted peppers are a great source of vitamin C, which is important for immune system function, skin health, and wound healing. Anti-inflammatory properties: Roasted peppers contain antioxidants and other compounds that have been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties.

Some say don't. It's a waste of time, and it discards important nutrients others claim a peeled bell pepper or tomato tastes better. I find peeling releases the flavor faster and improves the taste in most sauces and, facilitates digestion. Peeling isn't all that difficult.

It is super easy to cut the peppers into strips or chop them to add to salads, pizzas, sandwiches, wraps, pasta and egg dishes. Their tender, melt-in-your-mouth texture and bold flavor makes them the perfect ingredient to blend in sauces, soups, dressings, hummus dips and marinades.

Instructions. Wash and dry your bell peppers, then slice off the 4 sides. Use your knife to carefully remove the seeds and white pith, then place the peppers cut-side-down on a baking sheet. (You can line your baking sheet with foil for even quicker clean up later!)

You've seen bell peppers -- green, orange, yellow, and red -- in the grocery store or in a salad bar. Red peppers pack the most nutrition, because they've been on the vine longest.

Why they're good for you: Bell peppers—especially the bright-red ones—are high in antioxidants and low in starch. Similar to spicy peppers, sweet bell peppers contain the chemical compound capsaicin, which is known to help reduce inflammation and potentially even pain.

It's OK to eat bell peppers every day, but some people may need to limit their intake to one per day. Consuming too many bell peppers may cause gas and bloating in some, due to their high fiber content. It's also a good idea to include a variety of fruits and vegetables in your diet.

Another alternative is to place the roasted peppers in a plastic or paper bag and then close it tightly. Allow to cool for about 30 minutes or until you can easily handle them. The residual heat generated from the roasted peppers will steam them. This, in turn, makes it easy to remove the skin off the peppers.

Do roasted peppers need to be refrigerated? ›

To Store. Roasted red peppers will last for about 4 to 5 days in the refrigerator in an airtight container.

Halve the peppers and arrange on the baking sheet cut-side down. Roast for 30-35 mins, until the skin is shrivelled and lightly blistered. Set aside to cool completely before peeling.

Homemade roasted red peppers are sweeter and smokier than store-bought ones, and they're not overly salty or briny either. They're super easy to make, and they keep in the fridge for a week or more—perfect for punching up the flavor in whatever you're cooking.

Jarred roasted red peppers, once opened, tend to last 2-3 weeks in the fridge. Be sure to keep whatever they're submerged in (likely olive oil) above the peppers. Unopened and kept in a cool, dark place (like a pantry), purchased pickled items will last years.

Cut into strips, as in this sheet-pan dinner, you breeze past any sautéing or roasting steps, straight to tender pieces. And whole peppers can be plopped right into a blender or food processor to blitz up a robust condiment, like spiced harissa or creamy labneh.

Yes, you can, but it can be irritating and too hard to digest for some people. I usually don't remove the skins on my pan-roasted peppers, but I always do it for the oven-roasted and grilled peppers. Removing the skin also makes for a smoother texture if you'd like to use the peppers in dips or sauces.

Traditionally, roasted peppers are cooked directly on a gas hob. This method is particularly useful if you're looking to achieve a smokier, charred flavour. Put whole peppers directly on the flame of a gas hob and cook for 10-15 mins, turning often, until completely charred.

First, wash and dry the peppers, and place them on a rimmed baking sheet lined with silpat or parchment paper, as shown above. Lining the baking sheet will make clean-up a lot easier! Next, place in the center of the oven and roast for about 40 minutes or until soft, puffy, and charred.
