Italian-Style Roasted Peppers

Step 1

Place peppers in large aluminum-foil-lined baking pan or on broiler rack. Broil, turning occasionally, 20 minutes or until peppers turn almost completely black. Immediately place in paper bag; close bag and let cool about 30 minutes. Peel off skin under cold running water, then remove stems and seeds; slice into long thick strips.

Step 2

Combine bell peppers with Italian dressing, basil and black pepper in large bowl. Cover and marinate in refrigerator, stirring occasionally, at least 2 hours.

Step 3

For best flavor, serve peppers at room temperature.
