How to Make Roasted Red Bell Peppers

Preheat your broiler or grill to high heat.
Place 2 large red bell peppers directly on the broiler rack or grill grates. Cook, turning occasionally, until the skins are completely blackened and blistered (about 15-20 minutes).
Immediately transfer the peppers to a large bowl or zip-top bag. Seal tightly and let them steam for 15 minutes. This will loosen the skins.
Once cool enough to handle, rinse the peppers under cold water to remove the charred skins. Remove the stems, seeds, and membranes.
Slice the peppers into strips or desired shape.
(Optional) Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper for extra flavor.
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
