Ingredients
- 2 red bell peppers
- 2 teaspoons + 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 2 garlic cloves
- ⅛ teaspoon salt, or to taste
- Black pepper, to taste (optional)
Instructions
- Move your oven rack to the top position, and preheat your oven on broil
- Cut the peppers in half lengthwise and remove the stems, seeds, and white ribs.
- Rub the 2 teaspoons oil on the outsides and insides of the cut peppers.
- Place the peppers on a baking sheet, skin sides up, and place on the top rack in your oven. Broil the peppers for 5 minutes, or until the skin begins to blister and blacken. Rotate the pan if they aren’t cooking evenly.
- Using tongs, remove the peppers to a bowl or container and cover. Let them sit for 30 minutes, or until cool.
- Use your fingers to gently peel off as much skin as possible. Do not rinse the peppers.
- Place the roasted, peeled bell peppers in your blender or food processer. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil, garlic, and salt. Pulse until chunky, and then puree until smooth, if desired. The texture is up to you. You can leave it a little chunky, if you like.
- Taste and season with black pepper and additional salt, if desired.
Notes
Time Note: Please note that the Prep time is hands-on time only. Allow 30 minutes for your freshly roasted peppers to cool.
Roasting Bell Peppers Note: You can use a different roasting method, if you prefer. I just like this broiling method, which is from Homemade Interest. They offer more details and photos of the roasting process if you would like more guidance.
