minutesI buy my capsicums from the “ugly vegetable” section in the supermarket, and I prepare this recipe very often. It’s super handy for salads, sandwiches, or blending with chicken stock to create a delicious soup and super creamy dip.
Ingredients
4 large Red capsicums
2 tsp olive oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
3 garlic cloves
Bunch of Basil
A glass Jar
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 200°C
- Wash the capsicums thoroughly and pat them dry with a paper towel. Cut the capsicums in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes.
- Place the capsicum halves on a baking sheet, cut side up. Drizzle the olive oil over each half, making sure they are evenly coated. Use your fingers to gently rub the oil over the surface, Add the garlic, Basil, pepper and Salt.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Roast the capsicums for about 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender and the edges start to brown. The exact time can vary based on the size and thickness of the capsicum halves.
- I typically place them in a glass jar and add more oil until they are fully covered. And here’s a delicious tip: I use that oil later in other recipes, and it turns out absolutely divine.
