Roasted Peppers With Bread Crumbs Recipes

ROASTED PEPPER HALVES WITH BREAD CRUMB TOPPING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375° F. Drizzle the bottom of a 13 × 9-inch baking dish with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. (If you're using the infused oil, spoon a few of the garlic pieces into the dish as well.) Cut the peppers in half through the stems. Pull out the cores, stems, and seeds and, using a paring knife, cut out the ribs. Arrange the peppers side by side in the prepared dish. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over the peppers and season them with salt.
• Stir the bread crumbs, the remaining 3 tablespoons of the oil, the grated cheese, 2 tablespoons of the parsley, the thyme, and the crushed red pepper together in a small bowl. Divide the crumb mixture among the peppers, making an even coating over the pepper halves. Pour in the stock and cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil. Bake until the peppers are tender, about 20 minutes.
• Remove the foil and continue baking until the crumbs are lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Transfer the peppers to a serving platter, stir the remaining 1 tablespoon parsley into the juices in the baking pan, then spoon the juices over the peppers. Serve the peppers hot or at room temperature.

ZIA FRANCA'S ROASTED PEPPERS

Steps:

• Place the peppers in an oven or on a barbecue and roast until they are soft and charred. Let the peppers rest in a paper bag for 10 minutes, allowing the steam from hot peppers to loosen the charred skin. Remove the peppers from the bag, and peel off the skin and discard. Remove the seeds and cut into 1/4-inch strips. In a large saucepan, heat the extra-virgin olive oil and the garlic. Add the capers, black olives, and pepper strips. Cook for a few minutes more, and season with salt. Sprinkle with the parsley and bread crumbs, and stir well. Remove the garlic, and let rest for 15 minutes before serving.

ROASTED PEPPER LINGUINE WITH CRISP CRUMBS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Put the peppers in a roasting tin and toss in half the oil. Season and spread into a single layer. Roast for 30 mins or until tender.
• Add the remaining oil to a frying pan. Tip in the garlic and soften over a low heat for 10 secs. Add the chilli flakes, breadcrumbs and seasoning, and toast until golden brown and crisp. Tip onto a plate and set aside.
• Cook the pasta following pack instructions, then drain - reserving a few tbsp of cooking water. Toss together with the roasted peppers, olives, torn basil, lemon zest, reserved cooking water, butter and some seasoning. Sprinkle with the crisp crumbs, extra basil leaves and serve.

ROASTED PEPPER HALVES WITH BREAD CRUMB TOPPING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Drizzle the bottom of a baking dish with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and one clove of the garlic. I use a basting brush to spread everything around evenly.
• Cut the peppers in half. Pull out the cores, stems and seeds. Arrange the peppers side by side in the prepared dish with the insides facing up. Drizzle a tablespoon of olive oil over the peppers. (I use a sprayer and spray the oil over them).
• Stir the bread and cracker crumbs, the other 3 cloves of garlic, 3 tablespoons of olive oil, Romano cheese, 2 tablespoons of parsley, the thyme, and the crushed red pepper together in a small bowl. Spoon the crumb mixture over the tops of the peppers.
• Pour the stock into the bottom of the dish and cover tightly with aluminum foil. Bake until the peppers are tender, about 30-40 minutes.
• Remove the foil and evenly scatter the grated mozzarella over the peppers. Continue baking until the crumbs are lightly browned and the mozzarella is melted, about 20 minutes.
• Transfer the peppers to a serving platter, stir the remaining 1 tablespoon of parsley into the juices in the baking pan, then spoon the juices over the peppers. (I always skip this step).
• Serve hot or room temperature.

EASY ROASTED PEPPERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C).
• Cut the peppers into quarters. Remove the seeds and the membranes. Roast the peppers until the skin blisters and turns black. Remove from oven and cover with plastic, or a tea towel, or place in a paper bag until cool. The skins should peel away off of the peppers easily when cooled.

ROASTED PEPPERS WITH PINE NUTS AND PARSLEY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven's broiler and set the oven rack at about 6 inches from the heat source. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Cut the peppers in half from top to bottom; remove the stem, seeds, and ribs, then place the peppers cut sides down onto the prepared baking sheet. Cook under the preheated broiler until the skin of the peppers has blackened and blistered, about 10 minutes. Place the blackened peppers into a bowl, and tightly seal with plastic wrap. Allow the peppers to steam as they cool, about 20 minutes. Once cool, remove the skins and discard.
• Toast the pine nuts in a small dry skillet over medium-low heat, swirling the pine nuts in the skillet until they turn a light tan color and have a nutty fragrance, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat and pour into a small bowl to prevent them from overcooking.
• Slice the roasted peppers into strips, and arrange decoratively onto a serving platter, alternating red and yellow strips. Sprinkle the peppers with toasted pine nuts, raisins, garlic, and parsley, drizzle with olive oil, and season to taste with salt and black pepper.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 500 degrees.
• Place cauliflower florets in a small roasting pan. Add olive oil and salt and toss until cauliflower is well coated.
• Transfer baking dish to oven and roast until edges begin to brown, about 15 minutes. Toss cauliflower and continue to roast, tossing every 5 minutes, until tender but firm and well browned all over, about 10 minutes.
• Remove cauliflower from oven and transfer to a large mixing bowl. Add cherry peppers, pepper juice, and parsley; toss to combine and season with salt. Transfer to a serving dish and sprinkle with crushed croutons just before serving.
