If it’s out of my kitchen, you know it’s packed with flavors and rich textures and requires minimal prepping. This simple recipe is an ideal example of how a few ingredients can create an impressive snack(also this cream cheese stuffed mini peppers recipe).

This combination of ingredients makes the roasted peppers even better. They have a flavorful, chewy exterior with sweet flesh inside, giving each bite a perfect balance of texture and taste.

There’s no heat, so it’s perfect for everyone. Enjoy it during game day or at a party(like this spicy roasted vegetable).

Try roasting them with Parmesan cheese or tossing them with panko crumbs for extra texture.

Why You'll Love This Recipe

⭐️It’s quick and straightforward, with only five minutes of prep time.

⭐️It’s a farmer's market favorite!

⭐️A perfect crowd-pleaser recipe

Ingredients

  • Sweet Peppers: Choose mini sweet peppers or snacking peppers. These have no heat, similar to bell peppers.
  • Balsamic vinegar: Look for aged balsamic vinegar for rich flavors.
  • Olive Oil: Perfectly complements the balsamic vinegar, creating a delicious base.
  • Garlic Powder: I use garlic powder for even distribution throughout the peppers, but you can also use minced garlic.

How To Make Roasted Mini Peppers?

Mini sweet peppers drizzled with olive oil and seasonings in a baking tray.
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. On a baking tray, toss mini sweet peppers with olive oil, salt, and garlic powder until evenly coated. Arrange them in a single layer.

  1. Bake in the oven's middle rack for 40 minutes or until tender, flipping halfway through. Transfer to a serving bowl and enjoy!

♨️How To Adjust The Heat

Mini snacking peppers have zero Scoville Heat Units (SHU), meaning no heat at all, but packed with layers of flavor.

Hence, these are good for serving the way you like, which ranges from snacking to pairing with dinner. 

If you prefer, make these roasted mini peppers with a kick while prepping, and toss them in with red pepper flakes.

Storage & Reheating

I highly advise you to enjoy them as fresh or store them in the refrigerator for up to three days.

Reheat in the oven at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for about 10 minutes or until warm. You can also reheat it in the pan over the stovetop or gently microwave it in 30-second increments until it’s done.

I would not recommend freezing these mini peppers, as they do not hold their shape once frozen and thawed. But they still taste delicious. If you prefer freezing, you can freeze them for up to three months.

How To Serve

  • As an appetizer/snack: They are a better way to include vegetables on the menu and make your game days more memorable. We snack on them just like regular veggies like carrots or cucumbers.
  • As a side dish, these roasted mini peppers are perfect when I’m putting together a dinner platter.
  • For salsa or soup: Toss these for rich roasted flavors while making soup or salsa.

FAQ

Can I roast these in the oven?

Yes, absolutely. Grilling in the oven is more flavorful, in my opinion.

What variations can you try?

Try these variations: air-fry for crispiness, top with Parmesan or goat cheese for extra flavor, toss with balsamic vinegar for tang, or grill for a smoky, charred finish that’s visually appealing.

Do I need to peel the peppers?

No, it's not necessary.

What can I serve with?

You can serve it as it is or with spicy dipping sauces, such as jalapeno mayo or spicy garlic aioli.
