Double Roasted Red Peppers

Roasted red peppers are like candy. 

Literally if they were packaged by Hershey I would not blink twice.  They are maybe my favorite vegetable snack.  When roasted, the fresh acidic bell pepper becomes sweet and caramelized, with a soft and tender flesh. 

To top it all off, they go with EVERYTHING.  You can add them to salads, soups, toasts, cheese, hummus, salsas... the possibilities are infinite. And they keep well in the fridge!  So escape the can and roast them yourself, it is incredibly easy and cheap too. Here's how:
