There is definitely a time and place for taking the shortcut and buying the jars of roasted peppers. But we are quickly approaching pepper season…where you can buy them fresh on the cheap!

Or you may be like me and grow your own! Either way, there is a simple and easy method for roasting red peppers.How to roast red peppers - easy method| APinchOfHealthy.com

I love to throw roasted red peppers into salads and pasta dishes. And most recently, I have been making roasted red pepper hummus.

I am using a baking sheet lined with foil to cook the peppers. I will also use a glass mixing bowl, tongs and pint sized mason jars (one jar easily held three peppers for me, FYI).

    I can’t believe how simple this is. The second time I used it I forgot to cover them but still didn’t have much trouble peeling the skins off! Thank you!!!

    How far or close should the peppers be from the broiler heat?

      I just leave my oven on the middle rack, which is its normal position for me.

      I have never frozen them myself, but I see no reason why it would not work.

    Love this easy recipe. Would only add to use a plate or platter to cover the bowl rather than foil.
