Steps:
- Heat broiler. Toss peppers with 2 Tbsp. oil on a rimmed baking sheet to coat and arrange cut side down. Broil, rotating baking sheet halfway through, until skin is blackened, 12-14 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 200°F and continue to roast peppers until very soft but not mushy, about 1 hour. Let cool slightly, then scrape off and discard skins. Cut peppers lengthwise into 1/2"-wide strips.
- Whisk lemon juice, jam, vinegar, and 4 Tbsp. oil in a medium bowl. If fig jam is very coarse, use a fork to mash into smaller pieces; season dressing with salt. Mix in peppers; taste and season well with salt. Toss to coat.

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. The sunflower seeds add a crunchy texture and nutty flavor. This dish is perfect for summer barbecues, potlucks, or weekday meals. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can easily make this tasty and nutritious dish at home.
