Hey everyone! Today’s blog post is going to be short and sweet. It’s going to teach you how to roast peppers in the oven. Aka how to immediately upgrade any pasta dish, salad, or sandwich with absolute minimal effort.
These peppers remind me of my childhood. Growing up, my Italian grandmother, who was the best cook ever, used to make roasted peppers to go alongside her amazing penne arrabbiata. There is something about these sweet, juicy, flavorful roasted peppers that instantly upgrades a meal.
The best part? They are so so easy to make. I remember when I learned how to roast peppers, I kept thinking that the end result was much more delicious than you’d expect given the minimal amount of effort they require; furthermore, I couldn’t believe such a deep, complex roasted sweet pepper flavor had developed from a single ingredient: bell peppers.
Yup. That’s right. You don’t need any oil, spices, seasoning, or fancy equipment. All you need is some bell peppers and an oven.
Simply preheat your oven (way up high), place the peppers on a baking sheet, roast, flip, roast some more, cool, slice, and enjoy. Easy peasy pepper goodness.
Use the peppers to instantly upgrade any pasta dish, or cool and add to salads or sandwiches. Simple deliciousness at its finest!
I know this post was short, but I make these so often and am so passionate about how easy and delicious they are, that I just wanted to share them in a “How to Roast Peppers” post! I’ll be back with a nutrition-related post later this week!
Have a great day! Millie loves you. If you’d like to leave questions, comments, or just say hello, reach out to me on Instagram, Twitter, or YouTube!
