How to Roast Bell Peppers (How to Oven Roast Bell Peppers)
Learn how to roast bell peppers โ in the oven!
As always, preheat the oven first! Set the oven to 450ยฐF, then line a baking sheet with lightly greased foil.
Next, wash and trim bell peppers, removing the seeds and stems. I like to cut nice, wide strips for big, juicy roasted bell peppers.
Then, add bell pepper strips into a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil. You can skip the next part if you donโt want seasoning.
Once coated in oil, sprinkle with optional seasonings such as salt, pepper, dried oregano, and pepper flakes.
Toss until all the bell peppers are fully coated.
Pour prepared bell peppers onto the lined baking sheet.
Spread bell peppers into an even layer, with a bit of space between each piece for evenly roasted bell peppers.
Roast bell peppers for about 30 minutes in the oven, until tender and a bit deliciously charred.
Enjoy the best ever oven roasted bell peppers! Optionally, drizzle with delicious honey mustard dressing.
