5 yellow, orange, or red bell peppers, halved, seeds and ribs removed
6 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, divided, plus more for serving
Juice of 1 lemon
1 Tbsp. fig jam
1 Tbsp. white balsamic vinegar or white wine vinegar
Kosher salt

Cut peppers lengthwise into 1/2"-wide strips.

Categories     Peppers

Time 20m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 2

4 red bell peppers
olive oil flavored cooking spray

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 450F degrees.
  • Wash peppers and cut in half.
  • Remove seeds and stems.
  • Place upside down (skin side up) on a cookie sheet coated with olive oil spray.
  • Bake for 10-15 minutes or so, until skin of pepper is seriously black.
  • Make sure there are no sparks or actively burning ashes on the peppers and place peppers in a brown bag for about 10-15 minutes. This steams the peppers so the skins easily peel off. Rinsing peppers takes away all the roasted flavor, so don't let me catch you doing that.
  • Let cool so you can touch them.
  • Skin will peel off easily.
  • Cut halves into strips, or however you need them to be cut.
  • Now you know how to roast a red pepper!
  • Good for: Chicken, cheese sauces, tomato sauces, topped on foccacia bread, or a million other things!
  • You can also roast a pepper by placing it directly on the burner of a gas stove (NOT ELECTRIC!) turning with tongs every few minutes till skin is black. Continue with paper bag step.

Tips:

- Look for ripe bell peppers—they are more flavorful and sweeter. Slightly charred and slightly wrinkled peppers are the best. - To roast bell peppers, preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the peppers on a baking sheet and roast for 30-40 minutes, or until the skin is blackened and blistered. Transfer the peppers to a paper bag and let them steam for 15 minutes. This will help loosen the skin. - Once the peppers are cool enough to handle, peel off the skin and remove the seeds. Cut the peppers into strips or squares. - To make the sunflower seed topping, toast the sunflower seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat until golden brown and fragrant. Let them cool slightly. - In a small bowl, combine the sunflower seeds, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. - Drizzle the sunflower seed topping over the roasted bell peppers. Serve immediately or chill for later use. ###

Conclusion:

Roasted bell peppers with sunflower seeds are a delicious and healthy side dish or snack. They are packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.
