Ingredients You’ll Need

Here’s everything to make your Roasted Mini Peppers shine:

1.5–2 lbs mini bell peppers, washed and dried
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon fresh basil, for garnish (optional, but lovely)

How to Make Roasted Mini Peppers

Step 1: Heat things up

Preheat your oven to 425°F. This high heat is what gives you those irresistible blistered spots.

Step 2: Oil + toss

Step 3: Season and spread

Sprinkle on salt and pepper, toss again, then spread the peppers into one layer as much as possible. (They don’t have to be perfect—just don’t pile them like a pepper mountain.)

Step 4: Roast until soft and blistered

Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the peppers are soft when pierced with a knife and have some blistered spots. They’ll look a little collapsed and wrinkly afterward—totally normal. That’s roasted magic.

Step 5: The flavor finish

Step 6: Serve it up

Transfer the peppers to a serving platter with the juices (do not leave that liquid gold behind). Sprinkle with fresh basil if you’re using it, plus a pinch more finishing salt if you like.

Serving Ideas That Make It Feel Like You Tried Hard

Aneta’s Little Kitchen Story

The first time I made Roasted Mini Peppers, I planned them as “just a side.” You know—something responsible to balance out whatever cheesy thing I was making. But my family started eating them straight from the pan like they were popcorn. I had to shoo hands away with a spatula like I was guarding treasure.

Tips for the Best Roasted Mini Peppers

Dry the peppers well. Water = steam. Dry peppers = better blistering.
Don’t skip the single layer. Crowding leads to softer peppers without those lovely roasted spots.
Use the juices. Spoon the pan juices over the peppers when serving, or dip bread into it. Yes, you absolutely should.
Want extra char? Broil for 1–2 minutes at the end—just keep an eye on them so they don’t go from “blistered” to “oops.”
