Oven Roasted Bell Peppers
Let’s get this pepper party started! You might think roasting is only for marshmallows over a campfire, but nope, we’re bringing that magic right into your kitchen. Grab your favorite bell peppers, the ones that caught your eye at the supermarket, and let’s make some magic happen!
Ingredients:
- 4 large bell peppers (red, yellow, green, or a mix – live a little!)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt (or more if you’re feeling salty!)
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder (because garlic makes everything better)
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano (optional, but highly recommended for that Italian flair)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Get that hot box ready!
- Wash and slice the bell peppers in half, removing the seeds and stems. It’s like giving them a little haircut!
- In a large bowl, toss those peppers with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and oregano. Make sure every pepper is coated like it’s getting a beauty treatment.
- Place them cut-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. This keeps things tidy – and who likes cleaning, anyway?
- Roast in the oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are a little charred and sweet-smelling. This is the moment we’ve all been waiting for!
- Once done, take them out and let them cool for a couple of minutes. Your kitchen will smell like a gourmet restaurant!
- Serve them up as a side dish, toss them in salads, or blend them into your favorite dip. The world is your oyster – or in this case, your roasted pepper!
And there you have it, the journey to roasted bell pepper perfection! Now, go forth and share this delightful dish with friends and family or keep it all to yourself; we won’t tell. Enjoy your culinary creation!
