Description
Homemade roasted red peppers are easy to make and a delicious addition to soups, salads, sandwiches, hummus, tofu scramble and avocado toast.
Ingredients
- 1–4 red peppers
Instructions
- Wash the peppers and cut in half from the stem down. Remove the seeds and discard.
- Smash the peppers so they lay flat and place on a roasting pan in a single layer.
