Chef Tips
Roasted Bell Peppers
TO ROAST IN THE OVEN: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
Cut the bell peppers in half from stem down through the end. Remove the stem, membrane, and seeds.
Arrange the peppers, cut sides down on a parchment lined baking sheet.
Roast the peppers until the tops start to turn black and are tender (approx. 15 mins),

TO COOK OVER A GAS STOVE TOP OR GRILL: Leave the peppers whole. Char/burn them on all sides either directly on the gas flame until they are charcoaled and looked completely burnt (they are not)
Transfer to a large mixing bowl and wrap with plastic wrap to steam the peppers in their own juices)
Once cool, peel and remove the seeds from the roasted pepper.

Slice the peppers into strips, Season with Olive oil and salt. Keep for up to 5 days
