Ingredients

• 4 pieces red capsicums (bell peppers)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 pieces garlic cloves (optional, minced)
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, chopped)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 220°C (430°F) and prepare a large baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easier cleanup.

Step 2

Wash the red capsicums thoroughly and pat them dry. Slice each capsicum in half lengthwise and remove the seeds, membranes, and stems.

Step 3

Lightly brush the red capsicum halves with olive oil on both the inside and outside to ensure even roasting. Place them skin-side up on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 4

Sprinkle the capsicums with salt and black pepper for seasoning. Optionally, you can sprinkle minced garlic for added flavor.

Step 5

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the capsicums for 25–30 minutes or until the skin is charred and blistered. Rotate the baking sheet halfway through the cooking time for even roasting.

Step 6

Remove the capsicums from the oven and transfer them to a heatproof bowl. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap or a lid to allow the capsicums to steam for 10–15 minutes. This will make the skins easier to peel.

Step 7

Once steamed, peel off the charred skins using your fingers or a knife. Discard the skins.

Step 8

Slice or serve the roasted capsicums as desired. Optionally, garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature as a side dish, a topping, or an ingredient in your favorite recipes.
