Ingredients

• 4 large Bell peppers (red, yellow, or orange)
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 large Garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.

Step 2

Wash the bell peppers thoroughly and pat them dry. Cut each bell pepper in half lengthwise, remove the seeds and membranes, and place them cut side down on the lined baking sheet.

Step 3

Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the bell peppers, ensuring they are lightly coated, and sprinkle with half of the salt and pepper.

Step 4

Roast the bell peppers in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the skins are charred and blistered.

Step 5

While the peppers are roasting, peel and finely mince the garlic cloves and chop the parsley.

Step 6

Once the peppers are done roasting, transfer them to a large bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap, or place them in a resealable plastic bag. Let them steam for 10 minutes to loosen the skins.

Step 7

Peel off the skins of the bell peppers (they should come off easily) and discard them. Slice the roasted peppers into thin strips or bite-sized pieces, depending on your preference.

Step 8

In a small bowl, mix the remaining olive oil, minced garlic, chopped parsley, the remaining salt and pepper, and balsamic vinegar if using.

Step 9

Toss the roasted peppers with the garlic and herb mixture until well combined.

Step 10

Serve the Fantabulous Roasted Bell Peppers warm, at room temperature, or chilled as a side dish, salad topping, or sandwich filler. Enjoy!
