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.

BROWN BAG CHICKEN
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Rinse the chicken, pat dry, and remove any excess fat. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper to taste inside and out. Place the onion and rosemary inside the cavity and rub the outside of the chicken with the paprika.
- Lay a standard-size brown paper grocery bag on its side and place the chicken inside, tying the top of the bag closed with kitchen string. Place the bagged chicken on a rimmed baking sheet in the lower third of the oven, so you have plenty of room at the top. Cook for 1 1/2 hours, remove the chicken from the oven, and carefully open the bag to release the steam. Check for doneness by inserting an internal thermometer in the thickest part of the thigh; it should read about 165°F and the juices should run clear when the thigh is pierced with the tip of a small knife. Let rest for about 10 minutes before carving. Slice the breasts and cut the wings, legs, and thighs into pieces. Serve warm.

- Place peppers directly over the burner of a gas stove, or on a hot grill. Cook, turning often, until the skin is blackened and charred.

Transfer to a small nonreactive (glass or ceramic) bowl.
- Add garlic and 1 tablespoon oil to peppers; let marinate at least 1 hour (or up to 2 days in the refrigerator, covered tightly).
- To serve, arrange peppers on a platter, and top each strip with an anchovy quarter. Sprinkle with crushed red pepper flakes, if desired, and drizzle with remaining teaspoon oil, dividing evenly.

Tips:
- Choose ripe, firm bell peppers. Roasting intensifies the pepper's natural sugars, so starting with a sweet, flavorful pepper will give you the best results.
- Use a variety of colors of peppers. Red, yellow, and orange peppers will all roast beautifully and add a pop of color to your dish.
- Cut the peppers into even-sized pieces. This will help them roast evenly.
- Toss the peppers with olive oil, salt, and pepper. This will help them caramelize and develop a delicious flavor.
- Roast the peppers in a hot oven. A high temperature will help the peppers to blister and char, which will enhance their flavor.
- Roast the peppers until they are tender. The peppers should be soft and slightly charred when they are done.
- Let the peppers cool before handling. The peppers will be very hot when they come out of the oven, so let them cool for a few minutes before you handle them.
- Remove the skins from the peppers. The skins will easily peel off once the peppers have cooled.
- Use the roasted peppers in your favorite recipes. Roasted peppers can be used in a variety of dishes, such as salads, sandwiches, pasta dishes, and pizzas.
