Roasting Peppers Print
If you've ever enjoyed the succulent sweetness of a freshly roasted pepper, you may be cheered to know that they are remarkably easy to prepare at home. The whole process takes less than 40 minutes, uses very few kitchen tools, and is nearly foolproof. Both sweet and hot peppers can be roasted in this manner.
1 We have opted to roast 2 sweet bell peppers, one red and one green. We recommend using 2 teaspoons of vegetable oil for each pepper. Avoid extra-virgin olive oil as its smoke point is low and will burn when broiled. Preheat your oven's broiler.
2 Coat each pepper evenly with oil. A pastry brush is a useful tool to use when coating the peppers, but fingers will work in a pinch if a pastry brush is not on hand. Make sure to coat inside the folds of each pepper.
3 Arrange the peppers on a baking sheet and place the baking sheet on the highest rack in your oven.
4 Keep a watchful eye on the peppers to ensure that they do not become too scorched. When dark splotches begin to appear on the peppers, remove the baking sheet from the oven and carefully turn each pepper over.
5 The peppers will be very hot, so use tongs or some other kitchen utensil to do this. Once all of the peppers are turned, return the sheet to the oven.
6 When the tops of the peppers begin to darken again, remove them from the oven and place them into a bowl large enough to accommodate all of the peppers. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, making sure that it is sealed all the way around. It is important that the peppers are in an air-tight container for this step of the process in order for them to be steamed . The trapped hot peppers generate the steam necessary to loosen their skins.
7 Once the peppers are cool enough to handle (probably about 15 to 20 minutes), pull the stems out of each pepper.
8 Hold one end of the pepper down on a flat surface and gently peel the skin off of each pepper. The skin should slide off fairly easily.
9 Lift each pepper up and hold it with one hand, while using your other hand to squeeze down the pepper's length. The bulk of the seeds and pulp should drop out the bottom when this motion is completed.
10 With the backside of the knife, slit open the side of each pepper and spread them out (ribbed side up) on your work surface. With the dull side of your knife, scrape off any of the ribs or membrane that remain in the pepper.
11 Use these juicy, tender peppers to enliven sandwiches, spice up Mexican dishes, add to an antipasto platter, or toss with a crisp salad.

You can get the same effect several different ways. The quickest, if you have a gas hob, is to put the pepper directly over the flame until it has blackened pretty much all over - this only takes a few minutes. You can do the same thing under the grill in about 15-20 minutes, turning it to get all sides. Failing that, put it in a hot oven, that will take more like 30 minutes - but you won't need to turn it. Whichever way you do it, seal it in clingfilm, foil, or a bag to keep the steam in for a 5-10 minutes. This allows the skin to be easily peeled off when it's cooled enough to handle. This will taste a million times better than peppers out of a jar, which taste of the preservatives they are kept in - often brine or vinegar - or worse, chemicals.

Put them in boiling water for about 1 minute and then dunk them in ice water. The skin should just peel off. Slice open one side to get the seeds out and make a package. Make a filling of spinach and provolone or fontina cheese and stuff the peppers. Roast in a 400 degree oven for about 10-15 minutes until the cheese is bubbly.

If you want to eat truly healthy, lose body fat consistently, normalize your blood pressure, cholesterol levels, prevent cancer, and even boost your brain health and energy levels, you may have heard all over the news that the Paleo Diet has been found to be one of the best methods of achieving all of these benefits compared to any other popular "fad" diets out there. Go here https://biturl.im/aU4pw
The truth is that the Paleo Diet will never be considered a fad because it's just simply the way that humans evolved to eat over approximately 2 million years. And eating in a similar fashion to our ancestors has been proven time and time again to offer amazing health benefits, including prevention of most diseases of civilization such as cancer, heart disease, alzheimers, and other chronic conditions that are mostly caused by poor diet and lifestyle. One of the biggest misunderstandings about the Paleo Diet is that it's a meat-eating diet, or a super low-carb diet. This is not true

Paleo diet its a diet based around eating real food unprocessed and organic. Learn here https://tr.im/M1gP6
Whether you have or not, what you probably don't realize is that it’s the fastest growing “diet” in the world right now. From celebrities, chefs, elite athletes. Even fitness experts is eager to try it or adopt it.
And for good reason, because no other diet or eating plan provides so many benefits so fast.

Try a shish-kabob approach. Or slice them and grill them.
