Ingredients
PEPPERS: Bell peppers come in a variety of colors. The color does affect the taste slightly.
-
- Green peppers are the peppers that have been picked before reaching their ultimate ripeness, they tend to be a little more bitter than the other colors.
- Red in the ripest and the sweetest. They have a lot more beta carotene and vitamin C than the other peppers.
- Orange and Yellow fall somewhere in between. Not too sweet and not too bitter!
Regardless of the color, pick peppers that have smooth skin without blemishes. Wrinkled skin is a sign that the pepper is getting a little on in age.
SEASONING: This recipe keeps it simple with olive oil and salt and pepper to taste which leaves lots of room to get creative!
If using them for a specific recipe, add seasonings that compliment it. If enjoying as a snack, try seasoning with lemon pepper seasoning or some red chili flakes for a spicy version. Or try this extra crispy version made with flour!

Best Way to Store Roasted Peppers
Roasted peppers will keep in the refrigerator for 5-6 days. The best way to store red peppers is in the freezer. Roasted frozen peppers are great for quickly adding to soups, stews, and stir-fries. Chop them or freeze them whole. After they have roasted, lay them flat on a parchment paper-lined baking pan in the freezer. Remove from the freezer and store in an air-tight container or ziplock bag. They will keep it for 2 months in the freezer. To thaw remove the desired amount from the freeze and thaw in the refrigerator.

I am so happy to hear you love this recipe Jim!
When using Vortex Pro, what level do you use for roasting the peppers?
Hi Barbara, on the Vortex Pro I would insert the tray into the middle position and use either the Air Fry or Bake setting. Adjust the temperature to 360°F and cook for 8-10 minutes. Hope that helps!
Thank you!
