Hi everyone, welcome back to the kitchen today
I'm going to show you how to take beautiful
Red peppers and roast them yourself in your oven so you can have some amazing roasted red peppers on hand for any time you like
Let's go, see how this all comes together
Today we are going to share with you how you can make your own
Roasted red peppers at home in your oven now
I don't have a gas stove and typically these can be done over the open flame of your gas burner or
over the open flame of your
Your barbecue grill if you have one or your gas grill, I do have a butane
cooker that has an open flame
But today I want to do a couple of peppers all at one time, and I want it just to be done
So we're gonna go ahead and put these on a baking sheet and bake them off in the oven the oven needs to be
Preheated to 500 degrees. I'm gonna do the two largest peppers that you see here in front of you
I'm gonna save the other two for something different and then I'm gonna share with you how to do this
It's super super simple. Now. You can buy roasted red peppers in the grocery store. Absolutely. No problem whatsoever, but
sometimes it's just nice to be able to make your own and the way we're gonna do that today is I'm gonna go ahead and
Cut these in half
So make sure you've a nice sharp knife and then we're gonna pull out
The stem and I'm gonna cut out the
The membrane here the ribs
The best you can just clean it out, really?
Well, you can get a spoon if you have to and if you don't get all of it, it's really
Not that big of a deal but it does remove some bitterness. I have a baking sheet that I've prepared with some
Nonstick aluminum foil doesn't matter if it's nonstick or not
It just needs to be foil, or if you even you know, don't want to worry about cleanup
This is the way to go. You don't need to add any oil you need to add nothing to the peppers
Just put them on your baking sheet. My oven has been preheating and it's ready to go at
500 degrees
450 and 500 is where you want your oven since I'm gonna be making pizza later today
This was the perfect time to roast these peppers off because my oven needs to be screamin hot for my pizza anyway
So this is a great time to do it
so I'm gonna go ahead and pop these in my oven for 20 to 25 minutes until
They're charred and the pepper has slumped just a little then. I'll bring you back and I'll show you what happens
Next our peppers were in the oven for about 30 minutes
and then what you want to do is just take these off the baking sheet pop them in a bowl and then
Then you want to cover this with plastic wrap and you're gonna let this sit
Again for about a half an hour and then we're gonna come back and we're gonna peel them. All right
we let our peppers sit in this bowl for about a half an hour and now they're just
They're cool enough for me to handle so that's really the key is you want to make sure?
That your peppers are cool enough for you to handle
So if you have don't have asbestos fingers like I do
Then you just want to wait a little while longer
And then what you're going to do is you're going to come in here and you're just going to gently start to peel off
the charred skin and
I will say it is helpful if you wear a pair of gloves because
you know, first of all, it helps as a barrier for the temperature and then
You're not going to destroy the pepper
A whole lot getting the skin off of it
So that's how you remove the skin and then you can just lay it over here and move on
and do the rest
And I like doing it like this where I have cut the pepper in half because then I don't have to deal with the seats
So these are super clean now and you can just go ahead and and discard the skins
You don't have to cut these up. You can just pop them in a jar whole like that. But I'm gonna probably use them
If I cut them into strips, this is how I prefer to do it
And then you can just pop these in a jar with a little bit of olive oil or or your mouth
um here
And you'll be ready to go
roasted red peppers that was super easy
We'll be right back there. You have it our roasted red peppers. I transferred them to a jelly jar
Those two peppers fit in here perfectly and I put about a tablespoon of olive oil. I just floated it
see
I just poured it in and then it's gonna bubble all the way down and it's gonna fill up all the cracks and the crevices
In the jar and it's going to act as a preservative and then the bonus you have red pepper flavored oil
for later and you can drizzle that on a salad may put it in a vinaigrette you can
Put it on a pizza. So that's how you do roasted red peppers in your oven at home
If you're not fortunate to have a gas stove, this is just another easy way to do it
And really it's it's a real
I think it's a time-saver
frankly because this is one of those things you can fill up a
baking sheet with red peppers if you get them on sale even better and
Just put them in the oven go do some other tasks for about a half an hour
when you start to smell them and you'll know when it's time to check them because you'll start to smell that charred aroma and
You'll just know by the smell that the peppers might be close to ready and you want to make sure that they're charred
Well all the way across not just like a spot here and a spot there
You want them to be?
Charred the way that I showed you and then just let them rest and peel those skins off and you're ready to go
So I'm ready to use these in a couple of recipes that will be coming up on the channel
