[Week 13] Farm Share Recipes & Tips: If you hate peeling peppers ...

Click here to read this on the web.

... don't! This week I'm sharing two methods for roasting peppers, neither of which calls for any steaming or peeling. Hooray πŸŽ‰

Peppers.

Method One: "Magic" Peppers

I learned this method from Sally Schneider's The Improvisational Cook. Here's what you do: halve and seed your peppers; then slice into thin strips. Toss with olive oil and season with salt:

Sliced peppers.

Transfer to a parchment-lined sheet pan. Roast at 450ΒΊF for 25-30 minutes or until...

... they look charred at the edges:

You can serve the peppers on their own...

... or chop them up and add them to a salad, as here:

For their versatility, Sally named these strips "magic" peppers. Here are a few other ways she uses them:

  • in free form tarts with olives and goat cheese
  • in pasta with molten mozzarella
  • in bruschetta with anchovies and ricotta salata
  • in romesco sauce with almonds and toasted bread

Method Two: 4-Ingredient Balsamic Roasted Mini Peppers

Here's a roasting method to turn to if you have a stash of mini peppers on hand — I wouldn't recommend using this method with larger varieties of peppers (such as bell peppers). The beauty of this recipe is that you don't have to do any prep — no stemming, no seeding, no peeling. You simply dress, roast, and serve.

Into a 9x13-inch roasting pan, toss the peppers with olive oil, balsamic, salt and pepper:

Roast at 450ΒΊF for 15-25 minutes:

I love serving these peppers aside these black lentils, but they're delicious as an appetizer, too:
