Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Rinse the red and yellow bell peppers, dry them, and lightly coat them with olive oil.
Place the peppers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and roast them in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, turning them halfway through, until the skin is blistered and slightly charred.
Remove the peppers from the oven and place them into a bowl. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and let the peppers steam for 10 minutes. This will make peeling the skin easier.
Once cooled, peel the charred skin off the peppers, remove the seeds and stems, and pat the flesh dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Cut the roasted pepper flesh into small pieces and spread them evenly on a clean, parchment-lined baking sheet.
Reduce the oven temperature to 200°F (95°C) and return the peppers to the oven to dry out for 1.5-2 hours, flipping occasionally. The goal is to completely dehydrate the peppers until they become brittle.
Once dried, transfer the pepper pieces to a spice grinder or a food processor along with the black peppercorns and coarse sea salt.
Pulse the mixture until it reaches your desired texture, whether coarse or fine.
Transfer the roasted pepper salt blend into an airtight jar or container. Store in a cool, dry place for up to 3 months.
Use this versatile seasoning to enhance grilled meats, roasted vegetables, popcorn, or any savory dish of your choice.
