Roasted peppers are so easy to make, take very little time, and are literally cents on the dollar compared to the jarred stuff that has other additives. Use this as an appetizer on a baguette as I did here, add it to your pizza or pasta...anything goes. It also makes an excellent grilled sandwich with Provolone or Mozzarella cheese.

Ingredients For roasted peppers

  • 1
    red, yellow and orange bell peppers
  • 2 clove
    garlic, slice them into super thin sticks (more if you really love garlic)
  • 1/2 c
    olive oil (extra virgin), not the cheap stuff

  • pinch
    salt and pepper to taste
  • goat cheese, optional
  • 1
    baguette

How To Make roasted peppers

  • 1
    Cut the tops off peppers, cut in half remove seeds and the white pith. Lay them skin up on a baking sheet.
  • Blacken the peppers under the broiler, then allow to cool. Don't rinse them!!!
    2
    Set the oven to broil. Broil until the skins are blackened (about 18 minutes). I turn the pan about half-way through broiling time. Take out and cover well with foil (let them "steam") until cool enough to handle. I let it rest for a few hours.
  • This is even better the second day. Use GOOD EVOO. The better the oil, the better the peppers.
    3
    In a bowl, whisk together the oil, capers, salt/pepper and garlic. Remove the skins from the peppers and slice into 1/2" wide strips. Do NOT rinse them. Add to the oil and gently incorporate. Adjust seasonings to your taste.
  • 4
    Slice baguette into 1" to 1 1/2" wide slices on the diagonal. Heat a cast iron skillet or griddle on high and smear butter on one side of the bread. Put bread, butter side up, in the skillet. Let heat about 2-3 minutes. Flip over and push with your fingers to melt the butter and crisp up.
  • 5
    Serve as is on the bread, or add some goat cheese to the top and then apply the peppers.
