Peeling Bell Peppers

It is easy to peel bell peppers if you use this simple method:

  • Set the broiler in your oven to its highest temperature, or preheat your barbecue to high.

  • Place the whole bell pepper directly on the barbecue grates, or on a baking sheet under your broiler.
  • Allow the skin of the bell pepper to blister and blacken, and then turn it over so all sides become black.
  • Remove the blackened pepper from the heat and place it in a paper bag for roughly 10 minutes. The steam in the bag loosens the skin.
  • Remove the pepper from the bag and rub the skin off while holding it under cool, running water.

My method is very similar to Steve's only I use the gas burner on my stove top. Turn often using tongs. Then when the outsides are blackened, I place them inside a paper bag & then inside a ziplock bag. By the time the peppers are cool enough to handle, the skins can usually be slipped from the pepper.

A paring knife comes in handy for those hard to remove area's - simply peel it like you would a boiled potato.
