How to cook roasted peppers in the oven

1. First, take the peppers and wash them thoroughly, then pat them dry and place them on a lined baking sheet.
2. Make sure you have preheated the oven, and then cook them at 200°C for about 20-30 minutes , then turn them over and let them cook for another 15-20 minutes . When you see the skin turn black, it means that the vegetables are ready. But don't worry, the external part will be eliminated, skinless peppers are in fact much easier to digest and less indigestible.
3. Once cooked, take them and put them in a plastic bag , then let them rest for about an hour, closing the bag, or in any case until they have cooled down. This is a crucial phase, since it will be the steam they release that will soften the skin and then taking it off will be child's play.
4. Once the necessary time has elapsed, take the peppers and remove the skin , stalk, white filaments and internal seeds.
5. Cut the peppers into strips and put them in a bowl, then season them with extra virgin olive oil, salt, pepper and garlic. This may be enough, but if you prefer you can also add other herbs such as fresh minced parsley, or oregano or basil to your taste.
6. Serve immediately, or leave in the fridge and consume them cold : they will be delicious all the same!
