Steps:
- Preheat the broiler and move the rack down in the oven so that it isn't so close to the broiling elements.
- Place the peppers on a baking pan. Broil the peppers, turning them occasionally so that they are charred on all sides. This may take around 20 minutes.
- Transfer the cooked peppers to a plate, and cover with a bowl. Leave them to steam for 15 minutes.
- Place the peppers on a cutting board and remove the stalk and seeds. Flip the peppers over and use the edge of a knife to lift up the skin and remove as much as possible. Slice them into long strips about 1" wide.
- In a large skillet, add the olive oil and garlic. Cook over a medium heat for a couple of minutes, then add the peppers. Stir to coat in the garlic oil, and season with salt and pepper.
- Finally, stir in the shredded basil at the last minute, then serve.

Tips:
- Choose the right peppers: Look for bell peppers that are firm, have smooth skin, and are brightly colored. Avoid peppers that are bruised or have blemishes.
- Roast the peppers properly: To get the best flavor and texture, roast the peppers until the skins are charred and blistered. This will take about 20 minutes in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C).
- Let the peppers cool before handling: Once the peppers are roasted, let them cool for a few minutes before handling. This will make them easier to peel and slice.
- Use a variety of herbs and spices: In addition to basil, you can use other herbs and spices to flavor the roasted peppers. Some good options include oregano, thyme, rosemary, garlic powder, paprika, and chili powder.
- Serve the peppers immediately or store them for later: Roasted peppers can be served immediately as a side dish or appetizer. They can also be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 6 months.
Conclusion:
Roasted peppers with basil are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. Whether you serve them as a side dish, appetizer, or main course, they are sure to be a hit. With their smoky flavor and tender texture, roasted peppers are a great addition to any meal. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dish to make, give roasted peppers with basil a try.
