How to make roasted peppers in oven

  • Gather 4-5 Sweet red bell peppers (red preferred due to their ripe and sweet taste but green and yellow will work fine too) or Sweet red Italian peppers. Cut into fourths and remove the seeds. Lay on a baking sheet lined with foil or parchment paper, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and OPTIONAL: your favorite dried herbs (oregano, basil, coriander and etc). Bake for 30-45 minutes in 400 F heated oven until peppers are soft and slightly charred. Let cool and proceed with the hummus instructions.
  • Serve chilled roasted pepper hummus with a drizzle of olive oil on top with carrot sticks and other favorite veggies, pita bread, pita chips, corn chips.
