How To: Roast Bell Peppers

1. Preheat oven to 400 F.

2. Line a baking sheet with tin foil and place the peppers on their side.

3. Bake for 20 minutes, then use tongs to flip the peppers.

4. Bake for another 20 minutes. The peppers should look charred and should be very soft. Roast for a few more minutes if they're not ready.

5. Once the peppers are out of the oven, you need to let them steam for a little bit longer. You can use the tin foil that you baked on, and wrap up the edges to make an enclosure for the peppers. Alternatively, you can place the peppers on a cutting board and place an upside-down bowl over the peppers. Let them sit for 10 minutes.

6. Now, make a single cut along the pepper and roll the pepper open, so you have one long strip. Pull the stem to remove some of the seeds, then use your hand or a paper towel to remove any remaining seeds.

7. Flip over the pepper and peel off the charred skin.

8. Slice the pepper. Serve, or store in an sealed container under olive oil.
