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.
MARINATED ROASTED RED PEPPERS
Fresh, sweet taste, so much better than store-bought, and so easy! Use these marinated peppers as an antipasto, or a very healthy sandwich filling. Experiment with different herbs such as rosemary or Italian seasoning. My favorite is basil. Marinade also makes a wonderful salad dressing when the peppers have been eaten!

ROASTED PEPPERS IN OIL (PEPERONI ARROSTITI SOTTO OLIO)
I learned how to make these from my Italian mother-in-law. She doesn't have any of her recipes written down. She just makes them like she always has for years. They can be used in other dishes as well (bruschetta, pureed with cream over pasta, etc). I usually just have them on the dinner table in a relish tray as a side dish to any meal.

ROASTED PEPPERS WITH CAPERS, OLIVES AND ANCHOVY
A fresh sweet pepper roasted at home can be revelatory. The flames of an outdoor grill, stovetop burner or broiler add a touch of smokiness, while helping to remove a pepper's tough skin. To prevent the pepper from overcooking, do not place it in a closed container after roasting, as some suggest - just let it cool uncovered on a plate. The skin will still come off and the flesh won't be mushy. The combination of sweet pepper and salty anchovy is classic. Serve this carpaccio-style, using a whole pepper to cover the plate, or arrange in alternating rows.

Steps:
- Roast the peppers: Place each pepper directly on the flames of a stovetop burner or under the broiler as close to the flames as possible. (Alternatively, place the pepper on a hot charcoal or gas grill.) Turning frequently with tongs, allow the skin to blacken and blister all over; About 10 minutes should suffice. Remove from flames, and leave to rest on a plate until cool enough to handle. Ideally, you should cook all the peppers at once rather than one at a time.
- Cut the roasted pepper in half lengthwise. Using a small knife, scrape away and discard seeds. Turn over and scrape away the blackened skin. Wipe with a paper towel, if necessary. Do not rinse - a little char is fine. Leave the pepper halves in one piece or cut into strips 3/4-inch wide. Place in a small bowl, toss with salt and pepper, red-pepper flakes, garlic and a little olive oil. Leave to marinate at least 10 minutes.
- Lay pepper halves or strips flat on a plate and add 3 or 4 anchovy fillets per serving. Garnish with a few capers and olives. Sprinkle with a little more salt and olive oil, and scatter basil leaves over the top.

Tips:
- Choose the right peppers: Look for peppers that are firm, plump, and have a deep, even color. Avoid peppers that are bruised or have blemishes.
- Roast the peppers at a high temperature: This will help to char the skin and caramelize the natural sugars in the peppers, giving them a smoky, sweet flavor.
- Use a variety of cooking methods: Roasting is the classic way to cook peppers, but you can also grill, sauté, or stuff them. Each method will produce a different flavor and texture.
- Don't overcook the peppers: Peppers should be cooked until they are tender, but not mushy. Overcooked peppers will lose their flavor and texture.
- Use roasted peppers in a variety of dishes: Roasted peppers can be used in salads, sandwiches, pizzas, pastas, and more. They can also be used as a topping for grilled meats and fish.
Conclusion:
Roasted peppers are a delicious and versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of dishes. By following these tips, you can roast peppers perfectly every time. So next time you're looking for a new and exciting way to cook peppers, give roasting a try!
