How to Make Roasted Red Capsicum

  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
  2. Wash and halve 4 large red bell peppers (capsicums). Remove the stems, cores, and seeds.
  3. Place the halved peppers cut-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  4. Roast for 15-20 minutes, or until the skin is blistered and blackened in parts.
  5. Immediately transfer the roasted peppers to a large, airtight plastic bag or bowl. Seal tightly and let them steam for 10-15 minutes. This will make peeling much easier.
  6. Once cool enough to handle, carefully peel off the charred skin. Trim away any remaining pith or white membrane.
  7. Cut the peppers into strips or chunks as desired.
  8. Pack the roasted pepper flesh tightly into hot, sterilized jars.
  9. Pour extra virgin olive oil over the peppers, ensuring they are fully submerged. Leave about half a centimeter of space at the top of the jar.
  10. Seal the jars immediately and refrigerate. They will keep for up to 3 weeks.
