How to Make How To Fire Roast Bell Peppers

  1. Wash and dry 2-4 bell peppers (any color).
  2. **Oven Method:** Preheat broiler. Place peppers directly on an oven rack set 2 inches from the broiler element. Alternatively, use a broiler pan.
  3. Broil, turning frequently with tongs, until the peppers are completely blackened and blistered on all sides (about 8-10 minutes total).
  4. **Grill/Stovetop Method:** Preheat grill or gas burner to medium-high. Use tongs to hold the pepper directly over the heat, turning constantly to char evenly (about 8-10 minutes).
  5. **Cut-Up Method:** Wash, halve, core, and seed 2-4 bell peppers. Cut into quarters. Place skin-side up on a baking sheet or broiler pan. Broil, turning once halfway, until charred and tender (8-10 minutes).
  6. Place roasted peppers in a brown paper bag and seal tightly. Let stand for 15 minutes to steam.
  7. Once cool enough to handle, peel off the charred skin. Remove stems and seeds.
  8. Your delicious fire-roasted peppers are ready to use! Chop and add to salads, salsas, pasta dishes, or enjoy as a simple side dish.
