How to Roast Bell Peppers (Optional Steps). You can use raw peppers.

• Wash and dry the bell peppers.
• De-seeed the peppers and remove the stem
• Place the peppers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
• Roast for 20-25 minutes, turning every 5-10 minutes, until the skin is charred and blistered all over.
