Ingredients

Scale

Peppers

  • 4 medium-sized bell peppers

Seasoning

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and line a rimmed baking sheet with high-heat-resistant parchment paper or aluminum foil to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  2. Prepare Peppers: Cut each bell pepper into quarters, then thoroughly remove all seeds and the white membranes inside to ensure even roasting and a pleasant texture.
  3. Toss with Oil: Arrange the pepper quarters on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, then use your hands or a spoon to coat each piece evenly, which helps with caramelization and flavor absorption.
  4. Season Peppers: Sprinkle the peppers evenly with kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, dried oregano, and red pepper flakes to add layers of savory and spicy flavor that complement the sweet peppers.
  5. Roast Peppers: Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast the peppers for about 20 minutes, or until they are tender and have nicely charred spots. Check occasionally to achieve your preferred level of char.
  6. Serve: Remove from the oven and serve the roasted peppers immediately as a delicious side or incorporate them into your favorite dishes.

Notes

  • For milder peppers, reduce or omit the red pepper flakes.
  • The roasting time may vary slightly depending on your oven and pepper size; keep an eye to avoid burning.
  • These roasted peppers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Use high-heat-resistant parchment paper or foil to prevent flames or smoke during roasting.
  • Feel free to substitute olive oil with avocado oil for a different flavor profile.
