Steps
- 1Begin by preheating the oven to 450°F. Next, thoroughly wash and dry 3 medium-sized fleshy bell peppers or pimientos.
- 2Start by spacing out the peppers on a rimmed baking sheet, ensuring there is at least half an inch of room between each one to promote even browning. Place the baking sheet in the oven and monitor the peppers every 5 minutes. Rotate them as soon as they start to brown. Continue rotating until the peppers' skin is blistered and blackened, and they are tender but not overly mushy, which should take around 35 minutes. If the skin is charred but the flesh still has some firmness, transfer the pepper to a covered container to steam for a bit. Let them cool down before using in your dish.
