How to Make Italian Roast Bell Peppers

  1. Wrap 2 cloves of garlic in aluminum foil.
  2. Rinse 2 large bell peppers (any color) and 2 medium tomatoes.
  3. Place the peppers, tomatoes, and garlic packet directly on a preheated grill over medium heat. Slowly roast, turning occasionally, until the skins are blackened and blistered (approximately 20-25 minutes).
  4. Remove the peppers, tomatoes, and garlic from the grill and transfer to a plate. Let them cool slightly.
  5. Remove the garlic from the foil. Squeeze the roasted garlic from its skin and place it in a medium bowl.
  6. Once cool enough to handle, peel the skins from the tomatoes. Roughly chop the tomatoes and add them to the bowl with the garlic.
  7. Use a fork or pestle to mash the garlic and tomatoes together. Remove any remaining stubborn skins.
  8. While the peppers are still warm, peel off the blackened skin. You can do this under cold running water for easier removal. Tear open the peppers to remove the seeds and stems.
  9. Tear the roasted peppers into thin strips.
  10. Add the pepper strips to the bowl with the tomato-garlic mixture.
  11. Stir well to combine. Cover the bowl and let the mixture sit at room temperature for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld. For an even more intense flavor, refrigerate overnight.
  12. Serve and enjoy! These roasted peppers are delicious served warm or cold.
