This was so easy and so flavorful! Will throw peppers on whenever I grill. - 3/15/18
love roasted peppers - 12/10/17
I roast them on open flame or broiler, then place in a paper bag closed tightly. The skin comes off easily and without running water which just takes some of the flavor away, I whine with paper towel if it needs it. - 10/30/17
We've always fried peppers in a little olive oil. I will try this instead! - 5/2/17
I can't believe she is rinsing them in water. Never do this because it washes all the flavor away. That is a basic cooking skill. Is she really a chef? You can also use the broiler in the oven. I put mine in a glass bowl with a lid afterwards & then peel once they've cooled a little. - 4/30/17
Nobody is perfect, and you don't have to be either. - 4/19/17
I'm going to try this again...Thanx! - 4/6/17
We eat a lot of roasted peppers at our house. This method makes it easy. - 3/29/17
NEVER, EVER Run under water !!! You're washing all of that wonderful char flavor down the drain !!! The charred skin will rub right off with your hands or a paper towel. - 1/25/16
Will definitely try this. Hadn't thought about adding them to a sandwich but bet it's good. - 10/28/14
Thanks - I wasn't sure how to do this! - 7/20/14
I also leave the skins on and love the flavor and texture. - 6/4/14
Thanks so much, adding these to my hummus. - 5/5/14
Going to try this. Ive been wondering how to make it without a grill - 2/3/14
Some body ask for how long in a 400 f oven.
I tried this and after 35 minutes id was starting to bubble up but not turn black.
It was well cooked by then - 1/19/14
it was good - 12/30/13
just as Micheal said I'm amazed that any body can earn $8227 in 4 weeks on the internet. read the article... www.BAR29.com - 9/6/13
I hope you can answer this question. Is it okay, health wise, to eat the outer skin that you discarded in the video? We eat it and it's the most delicious part in my opinion. - 7/30/13
I too wonder how to make these in bulk and what to do to safely store them. - 7/27/13
Very good video. - 6/12/13
Yummy - 5/11/13
Excellent vid (I've watched it 3x's) but there's no place to SAVE it in my favs so I emailed it to myself. You are such a gr8 teacher to learn from and this ***is*** Teacher Appreciation Week. You certainly ***fit*** my interpretation of what/how a ***teacher*** should be! THANK YOU for all you do!! - 5/8/13
I didn't know how to roast peppers before, so I always buy mine bottled. Thanks for the tip. Now I can definitely make my own roasted peppers. It's easy and healthy, too. - 3/28/13
LOOKS VERY GOOD. I was wondering how to do this the right way and keep their flavor. - 3/11/13
If you find the "Anaheim" or "California" peppers and roast them as has been shown, the slices or "rajas" as we call them are delicios with all kinds of meals. We make delicious tameles of slices of roasted pepper with cheese (tamales de rajas con queso) - 2/20/13
Don't know why I never thought of doing this before. Probably because I didn't know how to roast them right. Off to the grocers today. Thanks for the lesson. - 2/16/13
Interesting... - 2/2/13
Ohh Yummy looks good! One question you said you can put it in the oven @400 ° but for how long 5 10 minutes?
Please let me know
Thanks - 1/3/13
By lightly rubbing the skin with a bit of olive oil, the roasted chiles can be frozen in bulk. The oil on the skin lets the frozen parcel be separated with ease. - 11/30/12
I wonder if this can be done in bulk and frozen in parcels. Anybody know?
- 11/10/12
mmmmm!

Thanks Meg. I love roasted peppers. As part of my healthier diet, I've been doing a lot more grilling and always looking for roasted veggie ides. - 5/20/10
Thanks for this recipe. I have been trying to do this under my oven broiler and had to turn the peppers over. This is so much easier! - 5/20/10

Thanks for this video!! I have been wanting to roast peppers but wasn't sure how ;) - 5/19/10
I can't wait to try this. I'm wondering if the peppers have to be turned during cooking if they are cooked in the oven, and about how long they will take to cook? - 5/19/10
easy! - 5/19/10
such a neat process - 5/19/10
I have found that roasted peppers (and other vegetables) taste better - the roasting tends o bring out their flavors even more. Thanks for thi video!!! - 5/19/10
I have been doing this for some time. I think that my greatest mistake is not having the patience to wait for them to get thoroughly blackened. - 5/19/10
You can use this same method with fresh green or red chiles. Just use gloves when peeling and do not touch your eyes. - 5/19/10
that looks YUM! - 5/19/10
I love roasted peppers,so this is a great thing to learn,thank you - 5/19/10
Great! It was good to see that. I usualy put oil on now I know also how to do it without a grill is good to know. It will be good with humus and for soup and sauces too. - 5/19/10
good idea - 5/19/10
THIS IS COOL - 5/19/10
Cool! I always thought you had to rub them in oil. Great way to get flavor without added fat and calories! - 5/19/10
I'm totally trying this. My kid's don't like the texture of peppers but I love them. Maybe they'll actually eat the roasted ones! Thanks Chef Meg! :o) - 5/19/10

Can you freeze them. would be great to have roasted peppers in winter from my garden - 5/19/10
Now in the mood to have roasted peppers for lunch-mmmmm. - 5/19/10
This recipe is great! I have been doing this for some time and they are great additions to turkey wraps as well. However, I add some fresh garlic, parsley and a little EVOO and keep it in the fridge in a glass container, so I always have some on hand and ready to eat. Enjoy!!! - 5/19/10
Great tip now I can roast peppers instead of buying them - 5/19/10
The rinsing is great for bell peppers, but I wouldn't recommend it for chili peppers unless you wear gloves. You can also roast them on cookie sheet in the oven. - 5/19/10
Great video !! - 5/19/10
YUM! I am definitely going to try this! - 5/19/10
Time to open the grill for the season! - 5/19/10
