  • Place peppers in preheated oven for 45 minutes until the skin of the peppers blister and char.
  • Remove peppers from sheet pan and place into a ziploc bag in a single layer. Remove air from bag as you close the bag. Let sit for 5 minutes or so. Remove pepper from bag onto a cutting board. Using the knife start peeling off the skin of the pepper.
  • You can roast the peppers ahead of the recipe up to 2 days and refrigerate until needed for recipe.
