Ingredients

  • 1 large red bell pepper
  • 1 large green bell pepper
  • 1 large yellow bell pepper
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  • Preheat grill to a medium-high heat.
  • Brush the peppers with olive oil. This is optional. I prefer brushing them with olive oil but you can roast them without it.
  • Place the peppers on the grill. Allow each side to roast until the skin blackens. Each side will take about 4 to 5 minutes, at most.
  • Remove from the grill.
  • Allow them to cool for about 5 to 10 minutes. Slip them in a ziploc bag, or place them in a glass bowl and seal the top with plastic wrap. Allow them to sit there for about 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Remove carefully and peel the outside, blackened layer off the peppers. Remove the inside of the peppers and seeds.
  • Slice them up and use them for whatever you like.
  • You can also place the peppers in mason jars and cover them with oil, pop a lid on and they will keep in the fridge for a couple of weeks. Instant jarred roasted peppers. I do this often.
  • You can freeze them as well. I use my vacuum sealer and freeze batches so I can pull them out when needed. I love having peppers on hand at all times.
  • Serve them any which way that puts a smile on your face!
