I love the way these taste...

Take as many red bell peppers as you want. Place them directly on the oven rack and roast. Rotate every once in a while until the skin becomes a medium brown to light black. When they are completely cooked, take the peppers and place them into a brown paper bag and close the top so nothing escapes. This helps with the skin removal. After a couple of minutes in the bag, the skin practically falls off leaving you with fleshy, tender, roasted red peppers.

They are good enough just like that, but you can zip it up too. I like sauteeing some red onions and garlic in olive oil and then spreading that mixture over the peppers. Best on bread, but bread is a no-no for me, so I'll eat it with broiled sausage or just as a snack.

I love these too! I can't think of another food that is improved so vastly by simply charring it.

Another easy way to make a couple roasted peppers is to cut them in quarters and heat them directly on the stove-top element on about medium heat. Of course, the BBQ is best though.

I store mine with a little vinegar (BV or red wine), garlic, and under olive oil. Makes a great salad or mixed into other sauce. Cannot live without em!

I must be missing out on something because I've never tasted roasted bell peppers. Must try this soon.

I love them. When you roast them just right, they start to carmelize a bit. And it is so tender and tasty. One of my all time faves.

Try roasting some pablano peppers. Make a "T" cut to clean out the seeds. Saute rough chopped shrimp and vegetables like tomato, green onions, etc. seasoned with cumin, corriander and chile powder. Because I am on a higher carb intake than many of you I add a bit of cooked white rice to the mixture. Stuff the peppers with the mixture and top with queso fresco. Bake them in a 350' oven for about 15 to 20 minutes or until the cheese is slightly melted. Queso Fresco doesn't melt like a cheddar or mozzarella but more like a goat cheese.

Hmmmm...I've never tried that either. I've got some red bell peppers at home. Guess I know what I'm making tonight. LOL
