Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr 15 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to prepare bell peppers baked in the oven for the winter? Prepare all the necessary products. Take the peppers that are fleshy, juicy with thick walls. If possible, use fruits of different colors, then the finished snack will look incredibly appetizing and bright. The amount of salt, sugar and pepper can be slightly adjusted to suit your taste.

2. STEP 2

   

   Wash the peppers and dry with paper towels. Cut each fruit in half. Remove the core and seeds. Next, cut each half lengthwise into another two to four pieces, depending on the size of the pepper. You should get medium sized slices.

3. STEP 3

   

   Line a baking tray with baking paper. Place the peppers, skin on top (as in the photo) in one row at a short distance from each other. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the peppers at 180-200 degrees for 30-40 minutes. Baking time may vary depending on the capabilities of your oven.

4. STEP 4

   

   Be guided by the fact that the finished pepper should become slightly soft, and the skin should acquire a slightly golden hue in places. The pepper can be left as is, or the peel can be removed. I usually prepare an appetizer with skin. If you decide to remove the skin, then remove the peppers from the baking sheet into a deep container, cover with a flat plate on top and leave for 5-10 minutes. After this, remove the peel without much difficulty.
