    We are always looking for a way to incorporate more colorful veggies into our meals. The summer yields the most delicious sweet peppers and when you prepare them this way, they are unforgettable!

    Ingredient Notes

    • Sweet mini peppers: these are the star of the show! You can buy them in the produce section of the grocery store. Bonus points if you grow them in your garden. You could also keep an eye out for them at your local farmer's market!
    • Fresh garlic: this simple ingredient gets crispy and golden in the oven when they're roasting and adds so much flavor.
    • Salt and pepper: use flaky salt or kosher salt plus fresh blacked pepper if you can to really elevate the dish.
    • Optional garnishes: in the summer peppers go so well with fresh basil and thyme. We added both to ours and it was so good!

    Health Benefits of Peppers

    • High in fiber: each mini pepper has 1g of fiber. Load up your plate and rest assured you're getting enough fiber for the day.
    • Great source of vitamin C: vitamin C is an important antioxidant and 1 serving of peppers is 150% of your daily needs.
    • Backed with nutrients: one serving is also a great source of beta carotene, vitamin E, vitamin B6 and folate.

    How to Make Roasted Mini Peppers

    1. Preheat the oven to 425°F and place a large sheet pan next to the cutting board.
    2. Slice the peppers in half and toss them on the baking sheet with garlic, olive oil, salt and pepper.
    3. Roast in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the peppers soften and start to char slightly in places. Serve hot with fresh chopped herbs if desired.

    How to Cut the Peppers

    The simplest way to cut the sweet peppers is to slice them in half lengthwise. I like to keep the tops on because they look pretty, but you can cut the tops off if you like. Some of the larger peppers may have a few seeds and membranes in them. Use your hands to remove them before tossing them on the sheet pan.

    • Easy pesto chicken
    • Grilled Hawaiian teriyaki burgers

    Storage instructions

    Allow the peppers to cool completely then place them in an air tight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Leftovers make a great topping for salads for lunch or they can be warmed up in the microwave as a side.
