Roast Mediterranean Peppers Recipes

ROASTED PEPPERS & ONIONS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Place bell peppers and onion in a large bowl. Add oil, salt and pepper; toss to coat.
• Spread the vegetables in a single layer on a large rimmed baking sheet. Bake until tender and charred in spots, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Transfer the vegetables to a large serving bowl. Toss with lemon juice, parsley and basil. Serve immediately.

SHEET PAN ROASTED MEDITERRANEAN VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Place cherry tomatoes, bell peppers, zucchini, red onions, and garlic on a large, rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle and toss with olive oil. Season with basil and pepper.
• Bake in the preheated oven until vegetables are lightly browned and easily pierced with a fork, 35 to 40 minutes.

MEDITERRANEAN TURKEY-STUFFED PEPPERS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Halve the peppers lengthways, then remove the seeds and core but keep the stalks on. Rub the peppers with a drizzle of olive oil and season well. Put on a baking tray and roast for 15 mins.
• Meanwhile, heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large pan over a medium heat. Fry the mince for 2-3 mins, stirring to break up the chunks, then tip onto a plate.
• Wipe out your pan, then heat the rest of the oil over a medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic, stir-fry for 2-3 mins, then add the cumin and mushrooms and cook for 2-3 mins more.
• Tip the mince back into the pan and add the chopped tomatoes and tomato purée. Crumble in the stock cube and cook for 3-4 mins, then add the oregano and season. Remove the peppers from the oven and fill them with as much of the mince as you can. (Don't worry if some spills out it - it will go satisfyingly crisp in the oven.) Top with the cheese and return to the oven for 10-15 mins until the cheese starts to turn golden.
• Carefully slide the peppers onto a plate and serve alongside a pile of your favourite greens blanched, boiled or steamed.

MEDITERRANEAN ROAST PEPPERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 180 C / 350 F / gas 4, and butter a shallow ovenproof dish.
• Place the peppers tightly together in the dish, and sprinkle over the chopped capers, black olives, garlic, mozzarella and breadcrumbs.
• Pour over the wine and olive oil, and then sprinkle with the mint, parsley and freshly ground black pepper.
• Bake for 30 - 40 minutes, until the topping is crisp and golden-brown.

ROASTED RED PEPPERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit and line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
• To prepare the bell peppers, position one pepper upright with the base against a cutting board. Using a sharp chef's knife, slice downward, one side at a time, to create four slabs. Use a knife or spoon to remove and discard any membranes still attached to the slabs.
• Place the pepper slabs, skin side facing up, on the prepared sheet in a single layer. Roast the peppers for 25 to 30 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through baking, until the tops are blistering and darkening, and the flesh is easily pierced through with a fork.
• Scoop the peppers into a medium bowl, then cover the bowl with a plate to trap the steam. Set the bowl aside and let the peppers cool until they are comfortable to handle, about 10 to 20 minutes.
• Peel the blistered skin off of each pepper and discard the skins. Use the roasted peppers as desired. Leftover roasted peppers will keep in a jar in the refrigerator, covered, for 7 to 10 days.

ROAST MEDITERRANEAN PEPPERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425°F Slice each pepper in half lenthways, including the stalk and scoop out the seeds. Place the pepper halves in a shallow ovenproof dish.
• Quarter the tomatoes and divide among the 12 pepper halves. Divide the anchovy fillets and garlic and pour a tablespoon of olive oil into each pepper half. Season with freshly ground pepper.
• Bake for half an hour then reduce the heat to 350F and bake for a further half an hour until the peppers have softened and are brown around the edges.
• Serve the peppers warm from the oven with focaccia bread.

MEDITERRANEAN STUFFED PEPPERS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Pop the peppers on a plate and microwave on Medium for 5 mins, until almost soft. Place on a baking tray, cut-side up.
• Meanwhile, place the couscous in a bowl and cover with 125ml boiling water. Stir, cover the bowl and leave to stand for 10 mins. Stir the couscous with a fork to break it up, then mix in the pine nuts, olives, feta, tomatoes and basil. Pile the couscous stuffing into the pepper halves and bake for 10 mins.

MEDITERRANEAN SPELT-STUFFED PEPPERS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Place the peppers cut-side up on a roasting tray. Drizzle over 1 tbsp of the sundried tomato oil, season with sea salt and black pepper then roast for 20-25 mins until the peppers are tender.
• Meanwhile, heat the remaining oil in a frying pan over a medium heat. Add the spiralized red onion. Cook for 2-3 mins until softened then transfer to a bowl.
• Add in the remaining ingredients and some seasoning. Once the peppers are cooked, generously fill them with the spelt mix and return to the oven for 5 mins to heat through. Serve with a green salad.
