How to Grill Bell Peppers: Mastering Grilled Bell Peppers
How to Grill Bell Peppers: Mastering Grilled Bell Peppers
Ingredients
- 4 large bell peppers, red or green
- 1 tbsp olive oil, enough to coat the peppers
- sea salt, to taste
Equipment
- 1 grill
- 1 tongs to position and rotate the bell peppers
- 1 bowl filled with water for rinsing hands (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat grill to high heat.
- Place whole bell peppers directly on the grill grates.
- Grill for 5–6 minutes per side, turning until all sides are blistered and blackened. Total grilling time of 15-20 minutes. The peppers will begin to sag, but will not fully collapse when finished.
- Remove peppers and transfer to a bowl. Cover tightly with a lid, plate, or plastic wrap. Let steam for 5–10 minutes.
- Peel off the skins using your hands or a paper towel. Remove stems and seeds.
- Slice, season, and serve with a drizzle of olive oil and salt.
Notes
- 1/2 pepper to 1 full pepper per person, so there may be leftovers grilling 4 peppers for 4 people.
- Roasted peppers store well in the fridge for up to 5 days.
- Freeze extras in strips for future recipes.
