MARINATED ROASTED RED PEPPERS
Fresh, sweet taste, so much better than store-bought, and so easy! Use these marinated peppers as an antipasto, or a very healthy sandwich filling. Experiment with different herbs such as rosemary or Italian seasoning. My favorite is basil. Marinade also makes a wonderful salad dressing when the peppers have been eaten!

Steps:
- Set an oven rack about 4 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.

- Broil peppers in the preheated oven until skin is blistered and blackened, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Remove peppers from the oven and immediately transfer to a plastic or paper bag, seal, and set aside for 20 minutes. Peel off blackened skin and cut peppers into 1/2-inch strips.
- Combine olive oil, garlic, balsamic vinegar, salt, basil, and seasoned pepper in a wide-mouth jar and shake until marinade is well blended. Place pepper slices into the jar, shake, and refrigerate until fully cooled and flavors have melded, 3 hours to overnight.

MARINATED ROASTED RED PEPPERS
Steps:
- Lay peppers on their sides on racks of gas burners and turn flames on moderately high. Roast, turning frequently with tongs, until skins are blackened, 5 to 8 minutes. (Or broil on rack of a broiler pan about 4 inches from heat, turning frequently, 15 to 20 minutes.)
- Transfer to a bowl, then cover, and let steam 10 minutes. Alternatively, place peppers in resealable plastic bags to steam. Peel peppers and discard stems and seeds. Cut lengthwise into 1-inch-wide strips.
- In a bowl, place cleaned peppers. Douse with balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper, to taste.
Tips:
- Choose the right peppers: Look for firm, brightly colored red bell peppers. Avoid peppers with blemishes or wrinkles.
- Roast the peppers properly: Roasting the peppers brings out their natural sweetness and flavor. Make sure to roast them until the skins are blistered and charred.
- Remove the skins easily: Once the peppers are roasted, place them in a paper bag or covered container for 15 minutes. This will make the skins easier to peel off.
- Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade is what gives the peppers their flavor. Use a combination of olive oil, herbs, spices, and citrus juice.
- Marinate the peppers for at least 30 minutes: This allows the flavors of the marinade to penetrate the peppers.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When roasting the peppers, make sure to spread them out in a single layer. This will ensure that they cook evenly.
- Serve the peppers warm or at room temperature: Marinated roasted red peppers can be served as an appetizer, side dish, or ingredient in other dishes.
Conclusion:
Marinated roasted red peppers are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a healthy and flavorful dish, give marinated roasted red peppers a try!
