The ingredients
Bell pepper. Add multicolored bell peppers, like yellow, orange, green, and red. This blend is pleasing to the eyes and adds value to the food. I have used just the bell peppers; feel free to use other mild chili pepper varieties like banana and poblano pepper.
Onion. It compliments the roasted bell peppers and adds a subtle sweetness and a crunchy texture.
Grape seed oil. It is 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, 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 pepper length twice and remove the core.
Slice the peppers and onion thinly a 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 until the seasonings coat the bell peppers.
Bake for about 20 minutes or until the edges shrink and turn golden brown.
Serve as a topping for burgers or tacos. Or serve as a side dish and enjoy!!
Variations
Other chili peppers. Chili peppers come in various colors, sizes, and spice levels. These oven-roasted peppers and onions also work well for making with other chili pepper vanities. So try attempting different peppers to suit your personal preference.
Zucchini. Zucchini has a soft texture and complements bell peppers and onions well. Cut them into stripes and add them to the bell peppers for roasting. This pairing works perfectly with oven-roasted peppers and onion to serve as a hearty side dish.
Mushroom. Mushrooms do not have a flavor but are brilliant in absorbing their co-ingredients. You can also add other vegetables like potatoes to create your own blend(something similar to this hot roasted vegetables).
Italian seasoning. Sprinkle Italian seasonings and swap grapeseed oil with olive oil. That's it. You have made an excellent topping for homemade Italian pizza. Otherwise, toss with pasta for refreshing flavors.
Serving suggestions
Topping. Make your pizza or taco more delightful by adding a layer of roasted bell peppers.
Side dish. Serve as a complete side dish for any main courses like,
Garnish. Spread layer over salad or the meat dishes.
Seasoning. It's a great addition that will work incredibly with pasta, chilies, or salsa.
