Why Roast Vegetables?

Roasting veggies is an amazing way to bring out their delicious flavor. It’s a great way to prepare vegetables for people that claim to “not like them”.

We also love roasted vegetables because you can prepare them ahead of time. They reheat easily and can be used in a variety of dishes.

Roasted Peppers with Garlic and Herbs

I especially love roasting bell peppers because –

• they are pretty easy to find year round at the store
• bell peppers are pretty budget friendly
• a great way to increase veggies in your diet and meals
• you can use them in a variety of ways for meals and snacks

These Garlic and Herb Roasted Peppers are fantastic. A drizzle of olive oil, minced garlic and fresh herbs is all it takes. We used a combination of fresh and dried herbs but either work fine on their own.

How to Enjoy Roasted Peppers

We are sharing a recipe later this week that use these delicious roasted peppers. In addition to that recipe that’s coming soon, here are a few other ways to enjoy them –

• Stuffed with rice, quinoa or couscous
• Chopped and served as a side dish
• Sliced and used in fajitas, tacos or burrito bowls
• Filled with chicken, shrimp or steak
• Enjoyed with scrambled eggs or in breakfast burritos
• These Greek Orzo Stuffed Red Peppers with Lemony Basil Tomatoes from Half Baked Harvest is one of our favorite recipes
