Oven Roasted Bell Peppers are a simple, vibrant side dish that highlights the natural sweetness and smoky flavor of bell peppers. Roasting them in the oven with olive oil, garlic powder, and a touch of seasoning makes for a delicious and healthy accompaniment to any meal. This easy recipe can be customized with fresh herbs for added aroma and taste.

Ingredients

Vegetables

  • 3 bell peppers

Seasoning

  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • pinch of black pepper

Optional Garnishes

  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh herbs such as basil, parsley, or chives

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect roasting temperature for the bell peppers.
  2. Prepare the Peppers: Wash the bell peppers thoroughly, then dry them. Cut them into evenly sized strips or large chunks to ensure even roasting.
  3. Season the Peppers: In a bowl, toss the bell pepper pieces with the extra virgin olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and a pinch of black pepper until each piece is well coated.
  4. Roast: Spread the seasoned bell peppers in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a lightly greased tray. Roast in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the peppers are tender and slightly caramelized on the edges.
  5. Add Fresh Herbs: Once roasted, transfer the bell peppers to a serving dish and sprinkle with the finely chopped fresh herbs if using. Toss gently to combine.
  6. Serve: Serve the oven roasted bell peppers warm or at room temperature as a side dish for grilled meats, pasta, or grain bowls.

Notes

  • Use a mix of red, yellow, and orange bell peppers for a colorful dish and varied sweetness.
  • Adjust garlic powder and salt to taste based on your preference.
  • Fresh herbs are optional but add a refreshing layer of flavor.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
