Question 1

Can I just roast the whole red pepper?

Accepted Answer

Sure, there is no reason why you cannot cook whole red peppers in the oven. Then, take them out and steam them in a baggie or by covering them with plastic wrap. After, hold one pepper at a time by the stem and poke a hole in it to release the steam. Then, it is easy to remove the seeds and inner membranes by scraping them with a spoon. Peel the skin and they are ready to chop and marinate.

Question 2

Can I save these in a jar for future use?

Accepted Answer

Yes, just put them in a jar with a tight-fitting lid and leave a couple of inches at the top. When freezing, the liquid will expand so you need the extra room or the glass could break. Use a mason jar if you have one. Then, add the peppers to the jar with whatever seasoning you like and pour in some olive oil. They can stay frozen for about four months.

Question 3

Is it okay to roast peppers on a gas stove?

Accepted Answer

Roasting peppers on a gas burner is a preferred method by many people. You should use whole pepper for this method. Just turn on the gas stove burner and hold the pepper over it with tongs. Let the flame char the outside and it only takes a few minutes instead of 30. However, you have to be careful when cooking peppers on a gas flame because it is easy to burn them.

Question 4

What are the differences in bell pepper colors?

Accepted Answer

Bell peppers come in several different colors, but they are all the same bell pepper. They change color depending on how ripe they are. The green ones are the least ripe and they are more bitter than the others. Yellow is the next stage, and it is slightly bitter. Orange and red are the sweetest with the least bitterness.
