Ingredients

• 6 red bell peppers
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 3 cloves of garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Wash the red peppers and cut them in half lengthwise. Remove the stems, seeds, and white membrane.
3. Place the pepper halves on a baking sheet, skin side up.
4. Roast the peppers in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the skin is charred and blistered.
5. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and immediately transfer the roasted peppers to a bowl. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let them cool for about 15-20 minutes. The steam will help loosen the skins.
6. Once the peppers have cooled, gently peel off the skin. It should come off easily. Cut the peppers into strips.
7. In a separate bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, balsamic vinegar, dried oregano, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.
8. Add the roasted pepper strips to the marinade and toss gently to coat them evenly.
9. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the peppers marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight.
10. Before serving, bring the marinated roasted red peppers to room temperature.
11. Enjoy as a topping for sandwiches, pizzas, salads, or as a side dish.
