This lesson teaches you how to roast peppers to enhance their flavor, resulting in delicious, smoky additions to various dishes. The process involves preparing the oven, roasting the peppers under the broiler, allowing them to steam for easy peeling, and finally cleaning them for use in recipes.

How to Roast Peppers

Roasting peppers is a fun and easy way to make them taste even better! Follow these simple steps to learn how to roast peppers perfectly every time. You’ll end up with delicious, smoky peppers that you can use in all sorts of dishes.

Step 1: Get Ready to Roast

First, you need to prepare your oven. Turn on the broiler setting. The broiler is like a super-hot grill inside your oven that cooks food from the top. Next, take a baking sheet and cover it with parchment paper. This will help keep the peppers from sticking and make cleaning up easier.

Step 2: Roast the Peppers

Place whole peppers on the baking sheet. Put the baking sheet in the oven under the broiler. Keep an eye on the peppers as they cook. You’ll want to turn them occasionally so that all sides get nicely charred and blistered. This usually takes a few minutes, so stay close by!

Step 3: Let Them Steam

Once the peppers are roasted and their skins are charred, carefully take them out of the oven. Place the hot peppers in a bowl and cover the bowl with plastic wrap. This step is important because it lets the peppers steam, which makes it easier to peel off their skins later. Let them steam for about 10 minutes.

Step 4: Peel and Clean

After the peppers have steamed, it’s time to peel off their skins. The skin should come off easily now. Once peeled, cut the peppers open and remove the seeds. Now your roasted peppers are ready to eat or use in your favorite recipes!
