I promise these roasted red peppers are the easiest recipe you'll ever make! I personally love it, as it is super flavorful, nutritious, and easy to prepare. Really convenient if you don't know how to incorporate this delicious veggie into your diet!

These peppers are super versatile and you can use them in plenty of different dishes, such as sandwiches or salads. However, my favorite way of eating them is over a warm toast with a little bit of olive oil and ground black pepper.

Although I don't add any kind of seasoning before roasting them, you can go ahead and customize them with your favorites spices and herbs. Or even add some salt and olive oil!

Roasted red peppers, a super simple and affordable recipe. It's flavorful, healthy, and nutritious, and to make it you only need 1 ingredient: red bell peppers.

How to roast red peppers - Step by step

Step-by-step photos of how to make this recipe
  • Preheat the oven to 450ºF or 230ºC and line a baking sheet with some parchment paper (photo 1).
  • Cut the red bell peppers in half and remove the stems, seeds, and membranes (photo 2).
  • Lay the peppers on the lined baking sheet, cut side down (photo 3). 
  • Roast until the peppers are charred or blackened and blistered (photo 4).
  • Remove the peppers from the oven and when they’re cool enough to handle, peel off the skins (photo 5) and discard them.
  • You can slice or dice the roasted red peppers, or store them in halves.

Pro tips

  • You can customize your them with your favorite spices or herbs.
  • Feel free to add salt if you want to.
  • If you have other veggies, you can also roast them along with the red bell peppers. However, be careful because the cooking time may be different for each veggie.

How long will these roasted red peppers keep?

You can keep them in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 1 week. However, if you store them covered in oil they'll keep for 2-3 weeks in the fridge.

Can roasted red peppers be frozen?

Yes, they can! If you want to store them for a longer period of time, you can put them in freezer-friendly bags (or any other kind of container) and keep them in the freezer for about 6 months.

Serving suggestions

If you want to give these roasted red peppers more flavor, you can add some of your favorite spices or herbs. But if you don't know how to customize them, you can add olive oil and a little bit of Italian seasoning or even poultry seasoning.

I usually serve them as a side dish for seitan or tempeh to add some veggies to my protein.
