- Drizzle a small amount of olive oil over the peppers, ensuring they are well-coated.½ tablespoon olive oil
- Roast for about 20-25 minutes or until the pepper skins are charred and blistered, turning them occasionally for even roasting.
- Once roasted, remove the peppers from the oven and transfer them to a heatproof bowl.
