Roasted red peppers bear little resemblance to raw red bell peppers. The roasting process transforms them from firm and crunchy and to velvety soft and it brings out their natural sweetness. Whether you roast them in the oven or on the grill, the process is simple and totally satisfying. Homemade roasted peppers are exceptionally good - tender and fruity - way better than the kind you get in a jar.
