We grew a couple of bell pepper plants this year. Our whole family loves bell peppers! I was hoping to make this Garlic Roasted Bell Peppers recipe with bell peppers from our garden, but we had to pick them before they turned red. We have a short growing season, and the cold nights finally arrived last weekend.
The rest of our tomatoes and peppers had to come off the plants green. That’s okay. We still love green bell peppers and it’s so easy to ripen green tomatoes. Fortunately, we’ve gotten an abundance of beautiful bell peppers from our CSA. Every week we get at least 4 locally grown, organic, delicious bell peppers.
There are so many ways to enjoy bell peppers – in salads, dipped in hummus, in soup, stir fried and in Thai coconut. Roasted bell peppers are another wonderfully delicious way to enjoy them. You can serve roasted bell peppers as a simple side dish, on pizza, as a bread topper or in any dish that calls for bell peppers.
