About This Recipe

We first came up with this simple way of char-grilling red peppers without the need for a BBQ to accompany our vegetarian Greek souvlaki, but you can really use them any way: as a side dish, in salads or as a snack.  


A member of the nightshade family, all peppers have nutritional benefits, but red peppers are thought to have higher levels of antioxidants and phytonutrients as they are riper than orange, yellow or green peppers.  


They are an excellent source of vitamin C (just half a cup is more than 100% of your RDA) and a good source of vitamin A and fibre, while the antioxidants they contain may help protect against diseases such as cardiovascular disease and some cancers.

Method

  1. Pre-heat the oven to 180C/360F (fan) or 200C/400F (convection)

  2. Slice the tops off the peppers, remove the central core with the seeds and slice into three flat-ish pieces 

  3. Place on a baking tray and drizzle with olive oil and a sprinkle of sea salt 

  4. Place on the highest shelf of the oven for 10-15 minutes until the skin starts to blister

  5. Remove and allow to cool

  6. The skins can then be removed or left on for a more smoky flavour 

  7. Thinly slice and serve (to serve as a side dish, these are wonderful when drizzled with EV olive oil and a splash of apple cider or white wine vinegar)
