Ingredients:

  • 3 multi-colored bell peppers
  • 1 medium red onion OR 1 additional bell pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

Instruction:

  1. Preheat a grill to medium-high heat (375 to 450 degrees). If using the grill basket, place it on the grill while preheating. Or, fold a large piece of aluminum foil in half and prick several holes in it with a fork, then fold up a 1-inch rim around the edge to make a makeshift tray.
  2. You can use onion in this method! Cut 3 peppers into 1 1/2-inch wide strips. Cut the onion into wide strips and separate the layers with your fingers. Place them in a bowl and mix with the olive oil and kosher salt. Grill in the grill basket or on the foil tray for 15 to 20 minutes until tender, turning the vegetables a few times to ensure even cooking.
  3. Cut 4 bell peppers into quarters, then place in a bowl and mix with olive oil and kosher salt. Place them directly on the grill grates, spaced as far apart as possible. Grill until tender, about 6 to 8 minutes, turning once.

FAQ

How do you char sweet peppers?

The peppers will start to blister, pop, and smoke as soon as they are placed directly on a gas stove burner set to high heat (or on the rack of a very hot grill). A roasty aroma will also fill the air as the peppers begin to do this.

How do you cook raw sweet peppers?

Bell pepper chicken & dill soup, turkey-stuffed bell peppers, long sweet pepper boats, bell peppers stuffed with tomato couscous, mini sweet pepper & orange cranberry muffins, and bell pepper cornbread are a few ways to use up extra peppers.

What can I do with a lot of sweet peppers?

The ability of peppers to recover varies depending on the type and thickness of the skin; if the peppers have lost their crispness and you want to use them for salads, you can slice them up and try a 10-minute ice bath in a bowl; alternatively, you can pickle the peppers, even when they are limp.
