Roasted Peppers

Roasted peppers should be used more as a flavor accent rather than as a vegetable side dish, since they are relatively high in carbs. Loaded with vitamin C, and antioxidants, they add zest to a wide variety of dishes. Add a clove or two of sliced garlic to the dish before refrigerating, if you enjoy the taste -- there are few better culinary matches.

Recipe Instructions

Over an open flame on the stove, or under a broiler, roast peppers until skins are charred on all sides. Place in a paper or plastic bag and seal bag. Let peppers steam 10 minutes. When peppers are cool enough to handle, peel, seed and cut into 1/3-inch-wide strips.

Transfer to a glass dish, drizzle with olive oil. Peppers will keep refrigerated for up to a week.
