Cooking steps
  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 450°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

  2. 2

    Place whole red and yellow bell peppers on the prepared sheet, making sure they are spaced apart for even roasting.

  3. 3

    Roast the peppers in the top third of the oven for 25–30 minutes, turning them every 8–10 minutes with tongs until the skins are deeply blistered on all sides.

  4. 4

    Transfer the hot roasted peppers to a large bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap or a lid. Let them steam for at least 10 minutes to loosen the skins.

  5. 5

    Peel off the charred skins, remove stems and seeds, and slice the peppers into thick strips. Gently toss the strips with extra virgin olive oil, thinly sliced garlic, sea salt, and black pepper while still slightly warm. Serve at room temperature.

Personalized Q&A
Q. What's the key ingredient in this recipe?
The star ingredient is a mix of red and yellow bell peppers. Roasting them brings out a smoky sweetness while maintaining their vibrant color and Mediterranean character.

Steaming the roasted peppers in a covered bowl for at least 10 minutes loosens the skins, making them easy to peel and ensuring a tender, silky texture in the final dish.
Q. How can I avoid soggy or under-roasted peppers?
Be sure to space the peppers on your baking sheet and rotate them every 8–10 minutes for even roasting. Peel the peppers while still warm—cooling too much makes skins harder to remove and affects texture.
