Instructions

Preheat oven to 400℉ and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking sheets.
Cut the red peppers in half, then remove the membranes and seeds, discarding.
Place the halved red peppers cut-side down on the prepared sheets.
Bake for 20-30 minutes until the red peppers are lightly blackened.
Remove the red peppers to a heat-proof bowl, then cover with a lid (or plastic wrap or tinfoil).
Allow to sit for 20 minutes.
Remove the lid (or wrapping) then remove the skins from the roasted peppers.
Discard the skins, placing the flesh of the red peppers into a jar.
Store in the fridge to enjoy to use in a recipe over the next few days. If you need to store for a prolonged period, add olive oil to the jar to preserve the peppers.
