The ingredients
Bell pepper. Add multicolored bell peppers, like yellow, orange, green, and red. This blend not only is pleasing to eyes but also adds a nutritive value to the food. I have used just the bell peppers, Feel free to use other mild chili pepper varieties like banana pepper, poblano pepper.
Onion. Compliments the roasted bell peppers and adds subtle sweetness and a crunchy texture.
Grape seed oil. One of my reliable options for providing extra deliciousness and wholesome flavor. Olive oil is also another equivalent option to try out.
Apple cider vinegar. Infusing the bell pepper slices with apple cider vinegar adds up mild acidity. This can be substituted with white vinegar, or on the other hand, simply skip using this.
Red pepper flakes. I would highly recommend using this. Gives the bell peppers a minimal kick without being over spicy.
The directions
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Cut the bell peppers length twice and remove the core.
And slice the peppers and onion thinly of quarter inch in thickness.
In a mixing bowl, add these sliced bell peppers, onion, grape seed, oil, apple cider vinegar, red pepper flakes, and salt.
Gently toss and until the seasonings coat well the bell peppers.
And bake for about 20 minutes or until the edges shrink and turn golden brown.
Serve as a topping for burgers or taco. Or simply serve as a side dish and enjoy!!
