Start with these awesome, beautiful peppers:
Preheat your broiler on the low setting. Cover a baking sheet with tin foil and spray with nonstick cooking spray. Cut your peppers into good-sized chunks but make sure the pieces are cut so that the peppers can lay mostly flat on your baking sheet:
Place your peppers into the preheated broiler and let them get happy. They will get beautifully browned/blackened and almost sizzling. Don't be afraid of the blackness because you'll peel off the skins. In my oven, the peppers took about 10 minutes to get softened and blackened under the broiler.
Remove from the oven and place in a resealable bag or container with a lid. I don't like putting hot things in plastic, so I used my Pyrex dish with a cover. The peppers will get nice and steamy and soften some more in the covered dish. I let mine rest about 20 minutes.
Once cooled, peel off the skins. This sounds monotonous but it went very quickly and I thought it was quite fun!
Ohh, yum! Those would be great in so many things...I am thinking roasted red pepper soup. MMM.
