Need Roasted Red Peppers for a recipe? Make them at home with Ina Garten's easy recipe from Barefoot Contessa on Food Network; all you need is an oven.

Roasted Red Peppers

large red or yellow bell peppers, preferably Holland

olive oil

Place the whole peppers on a sheet pan and place in the oven for 30 to 40 minutes, until the skins are completely wrinkled and the peppers are charred, turning them twice during roasting. Remove the pan from the oven and immediately cover it tightly with aluminum foil. Set aside for 30 minutes, or until the peppers are cool enough to handle.

Remove the stem from each pepper and cut them in quarters. Remove the peels and seeds and place the peppers in a bowl along with any juices that have collected. Discard the stems, peels, and seeds. Pour the oil over the peppers. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.

I have hated peppers my whole life. Couldn't even stand the smell, raw or cooked. I had a slice of veggie pizza a while ago which had roasted red peppers on it. I was surprised how sweet and tasty they were!  I made them per your recipe and loved them. Researching them I found how healthy they are for you. The 2nd time I made them, I wanted to save all the chopping so I put them in my juicer.  It liquified them immediately. Now I do this all the time and use it instead of ketchup on and in everything. I poached boneless skinless chicken breasts in it (which I never eat because they are so dry and tasteless).  They were so juicy and flavorful!  I eat lots of chicken. This is now my healthy go-to way of preparing chicken, and takes a fraction of the time compared to baking it.  I also mix it with mayo to make a delicious salad dressing, or with sour cream for an excellent dip.  It is even good as a soup, instead of salty canned tomato soup. 

I have a question....in one sentence you use the word skin, and another, peel. I assume they are the same? If you remove the skin after roasting, doesn’t that remove some of the flavor? 

I was surprised how easy this was. I did green chiles. Oooh so good 

I have been making these for several years. Ina is my favorite chef.   Try her oven risotto!  Serve the peppers with fresh, thinly sliced garlic , olive oil, and a crusty bagette!<br />
