Easy Cooking Recipes: How to roast peppers the easy way

People make roasting peppers in order to remove the skins more work than it needs to be -- all the while declaring how easy it is.

Hah.

Like you want to fire up your outdoor grill, or stand over a gas burner with a pepper impaled on a fork to blister a dozen peppers, or spend half an hour rotating whole peppers in a blistering oven because you found a good deal at the market.

This technique gets the job done in a few easy steps, and most of the time youre just standing around. Bottom line: sweet roasted peppers in about half an hour.

Roasted peppers will keep for two-to-three days, covered in the refrigerator. But if youre ambitious (or have a lot of them) refer to The Home Preserving Bible, by Carole Cancler, for complete canning instructions.

EASY ROAST PEPPERS

Youll need:

Fresh bell peppers, washed
Aluminum foil
Non-stick cooking spray
A rimmed baking sheet

Prep:

Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil, and coat it with non-stick cooking spray. If you have a Silpat non-stick liner, that works, too.
Heat the broiler feature of your oven, and position a baking rack about 6 inches from the heating element.

Five easy steps:

Cut the tops and tails off the fresh raw peppers, then make a cut down the side of the resulting tube to open the pepper into a long, flat strip. Trim out the ribs and seeds.
Lay the strips flat on the foil-lined baking sheet, skin side up. Place the tops and tails trimmed from the whole pepper, on the baking sheet, also skin side up.
Slide the baking sheet under the pre-heated broiler element and broil for about ten minutes. You want the peppers to become black and blistered, but not burned to a crisp. Refer to the photo in the slide show for an example of how they should look. Broiler elements vary widely, so you might want to look in on the peppers after five minutes.
Remove the peppers from the oven and immediately cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil. Let the peppers steam this way for 15 minutes to loosen the skins.
Remove the foil and peel the charred skin off of the peppers. The skins will come off easily. If some of the peppers seem difficult to peel not unheard of -- hold them under running water as you peel them, to help loosen the skins.
