How to Roast Red Bell Pepper

This article will show you how to cook red bell pepper to perfection!

Steps

1. 1
   First thing that you need to do is gut and clean the pepper. Cut the top off and pull all of the seeds and core out. You can also run (cold) water through it as if you were rinsing a dish.

   When the pepper is clean, cut it into slices (preferably 2 finger widths).

   • Now that you have the pepper cleaned and cut, there are several ways to "roast" the vegetable.

   If you want to do a traditional kind of roast, I suggest you place the peppers on a rack that is on top of a cookie pan. Then set your oven for 350 and put them in for 10 to 15 minutes.

   If you are looking for something that holds the flavor and will keep the peppers moist, then this step is for you. Take a pan and fill it with vegetable oil (enough to cover the bottom of the pan). Then get the oil to a nice simmer and place the peppers into the pan.

   • Place a lid on and when the oil starts to pop shake the pan as if you are sauteing them. Do this for about 10 minutes and then turn the heat off. Drain the oil and place the peppers on whatever dish you are going to serve it on.

   Finally, if you want more of a bursting sort of flavor then read this. Grill the peppers like you intend on grilling meat. It gives it a delicious flavor and is the easiest out of the 3 ways.
