Caramelized bell peppers with balsamic vinegar

Step by step

1. Step 1

   Preheat the oven to 200 ºC. Set the peppers, whole, in a baking dish with a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil. Use a brush to coat the tops with a little more oil. Put them in the oven. 

2. Step 2

   Roast for about 30 minutes, flipping them halfway through. 

3. Step 3

   Peel the peppers (try to remove all the blackened skin). Remove the seeds and cut into strips. 

4. Step 4

   In a frying pan with a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil, sauté the peppers over high heat for a few minutes. Add salt to taste. 

5. Step 5

   Add the sugar and balsamic vinegar and cook over low heat for a few minutes until the sauce caramelizes. 

6. Step 6

   You can serve these peppers to complement a wide variety of other ingredients. They are fantastic on top of toasted artisan bread with a slice of goat cheese!
