Tutorial: DIY Roasted Peppers in Oil

Roasted Red Peppers in Oil
Pin It
After so many foodie disasters, I am happy to share a success story with you. By making my own roasted peppers and preserving them in oil I saved some money and have tons of peppers to play with.

Roasted Red Peppers in Oil

I picked up two bags of peppers (orange and red) on sale for 50% off at my store. They still ended up being around $1 a pepper so it cost me $8 but I was determined to make my own roasted peppers and preserve them in oil.

I washed them and realized, duh, the skins are coming off so I probably did not have to do that step but it is just force of habit.

I do not have a gas stove so I had to put the peppers under the broiler. When one side charred I turned them around with tongs so the un-charred skin were on top. Then I put them back under the broiler until all the skins were a little charred.

I put them in a large glass bowl.

Which I then covered with plastic wrap and let sit for at least 30 minutes.

I removed the plastic wrap and let them cool completely. I pulled off the skins, ribs and seeds over the same bowl I let them sit in. Then I stacked them on a clean cutting board.

By removing the skins, ribs and seeds over a bowl I was left with this red pepper jus that I strained and later used to replace some of the broth in my Spanish rice.

I put the pepper pieces into small jars and topped with a good quality olive oil. This will not be the kind of bottled peppers you can put in your pantry but they will last for a while in your fridge. The oil might solidify because of how cold the fridge but it is no big deal.

I already used one jar to make a homemade red pepper sauce for a stunning manicotti dinner! I intend to make a soup and my other roasted red pepper pasta sauce with these peppers.

So I spent $8 on the peppers but I ended up with 4 containers of roasted red peppers in oil that would normally cost me at least $3 at the store, saving me a little money. Every little bit counts and I know these are fresh beautiful peppers that are going to make my tummy very, very happy.

    Considering the price of peppers these days, you scored a super foodie deal and made some absolutely gorgeous roasted peppers to boot. The photos are so bright and the peppers just glisten, really brightened my dull morning which is very dark and grey at the moment.

    One of my favourite ways to use roasted peppers is in a veggie panini along with some braised rapini, grilled zucchini,eggplant and a lovely goat cheese or fresh mozarella. Bet that got you salivating.

    Great tutorial, I should make them. I usually just buy jars of them at the store.

    That manicotti rocked although it had that Unami paste with anchovies in it Debra. I know you don’t like anchovies.

    Oh good Ava, I thought I had scored a good deal but it always great to get confirmation. I’m glad the peppers brightened your day too!

    Helene, I promise, homemade (as always) is better. Totally worth doing yourself. Just takes some time and patience but is easy.

    Thank you Emily! So nice to share a non-foodie-disaster story today. 🙂
