Roasted Peppers with Chilli

Ingredients

• Mixed bell peppers (red, yellow, orange) 4 medium
• Olive oil 3 tbsp
• Garlic 3 cloves, thinly sliced
• Red chilli flakes 1/2 tsp (or to taste)
• Sea salt 1/2 tsp
• Black pepper 1/4 tsp
• Fresh parsley 2 tbsp, chopped (for garnish)
• Lemon juice 1 tsp (optional)

Method

1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C fan/Gas Mark 6).
2. Wash and halve the bell peppers. Remove the seeds and membranes.
3. Place the pepper halves cut-side up on a large baking tray. Scatter the thinly sliced garlic over them. Drizzle generously with olive oil, sprinkle with chilli flakes, sea salt, and black pepper.
4. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-35 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and slightly caramelised.
5. Once roasted, remove from the oven. Drizzle with a little fresh lemon juice if using, and sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
