Getting Started

For stuffed peppers, pre-bake empty bell pepper halves at 190°C (375°F) for 10-15 minutes before filling. This ensures they are tender, not crunchy, when the filling is cooked.
When baking gluten-free, use separate cutting boards and utensils if preparing other gluten-containing items simultaneously to prevent cross-contamination. Ensure any sauces or seasonings are certified gluten-free.
For even roasting, cut bell peppers into uniform pieces, approximately 1-inch squares or strips, when baking on a sheet pan. Toss with oil and spread in a single layer to promote even caramelization at 200°C (400°F) for 20-25 minutes.
Bell peppers pair well with acidic components. A squeeze of lemon or a drizzle of balsamic glaze after baking brightens their natural sweetness and adds depth.
