This Easy Marinated Roasted Peppers Recipe bursts with sweet, smoky flavor and is perfect as a vibrant side or versatile ingredient for any meal.
Equipment
- Oven
- Baking Sheet
- Mixing Bowl
- Jar or container
Ingredients
- 2 bell peppers red and yellow
- ½ cup olive oil extra virgin
- ¼ cup lemon juice freshly squeezed
- 3 cloves garlic minced, fresh
- 2 teaspoons salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Wash the bell peppers, cut in half lengthwise, and remove seeds and stems.
- Place the pepper halves cut-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast for 20-25 minutes until skins are blistered and slightly charred.
- Remove peppers from the oven and cover with foil or plastic wrap to steam for about 10 minutes to loosen skins.
- While peppers steam, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, and salt in a mixing bowl to make the marinade.
- Peel the skins off the peppers. Cut roasted peppers into strips or bite-sized pieces as preferred.
- Place peeled peppers into a jar or container and pour marinade over them, ensuring even coating. Let marinate at least 30 minutes or refrigerate for longer flavor.
- Serve the marinated roasted peppers warm, at room temperature, or cold as a side dish or ingredient.
Notes
- For best flavor, marinate peppers overnight in the refrigerator.
- Experiment with different colored peppers or add fresh herbs like basil or thyme to the marinade.
- Store marinated peppers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 7 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
