Marinated Roasted Red Peppers image

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!

Time 3h45m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 large red bell peppers, halved, with stems and seeds removed
¼ cup olive oil
2 cloves garlic, pressed
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon dried basil
¼ teaspoon seasoned pepper

Steps:

  • Set an oven rack about 4 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  • Place bell peppers, skin side-up, on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Broil peppers in the preheated oven until skin is blistered and blackened, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Remove peppers from the oven and immediately transfer to a plastic or paper bag, seal, and set aside for 20 minutes. Peel off blackened skin and cut peppers into 1/2-inch strips.
  • Combine olive oil, garlic, balsamic vinegar, salt, basil, and seasoned pepper in a wide-mouth jar and shake until marinade is well blended. Place pepper slices into the jar, shake, and refrigerate until fully cooled and flavors have melded, 3 hours to overnight.
