    The easiest way to roast peppers. Best set-it-and-forget-it method!

    Confessions Of A Serial Plant Killer

    You caught me red-handed!  Or maybe that’s brown on my hands. Because that is the color of the dead leaves I take out of my fledgling herb garden each day. One thing is for sure:  there is certainly no green anywhere on either of my thumbs.

    Quite regularly I think how nice it would be to harvest some fresh herbs to use in my recipes. I love the smell...fresh basil, rosemary, and mint...all give off amazing scents. Every spring, I purchase plants and I hope. I give them sunlight, I give them water, and I talk to them. They just look at me sadly and they will start to wilt.

    I love to scroll through Instagram and Pinterest looking at the beautiful herb and vegetable gardens that others have grown. I turn enviously green as they toss clean, freshly harvested goodies into their crackpots.

    The next time one of my online herbalist buddies posts about “pinching off a sprig of mint for their tea”, I am going to channel my jealousy towards my thumbs. Perhaps the envy will turn them green enough to offer me some growing luck.

    While I wait for greener thumbs, know for certain that all peppers pictured here are most definitely store-bought. That doesn’t stop them from tasting amazing.

    Roasting peppers used to be something I didn’t enjoy. I would burn one side too much or have trouble peeling them. But, as soon I tried them in the slow cooker, I knew I had solved my issue. A slow cooker is by far the easiest way to roast peppers.

    This recipe basically consists of tossing peppers into a slow cooker and walking away for 5 hours or so. They cook very evenly and the skin just slides right off.

    Equipment

    • Any size slow cooker
    • Slow cooker liner or foil
    • tongs

    Ingredients

    • 4 large red peppers

    Instructions

    • I like to use either a slow cooker liner or foil.  The liner will allow for less clean up.  However, I think the foil conducts the heat a little better.  Either way, clean up is minimal.

    • Cook on high for 4-5 hours.  You will be able to tell when the peppers are ready because the skin will start to blister.

    • Allow peppers to sit until cool.   Skin should peel off rather easily at this point

    Notes

    If you plan to use your peppers in a recipe, make sure that all of the seeds and the core are fully discarded. The seeds will make a recipe bitter.
    Great to serve with olive oil and garlic or to use in a variety of recipes!
