Roasted Peppers: How To Roast A Pepper On A Gas Range

1. 1

   Rinse the pepper.

2. 2

   Stick the pepper on a metal skewer or long handled fork.

3. 3

   Hold pepper close to the gas range flame (a small kitchen torch such as is used for creme brulee is also acceptable, but using a range is safer).

4. 4

   When the pepper begins to blister, rotate; continue rotating until entire pepper is blistered and charred*.

5. 5

   Place the roasted pepper directly into a Ziploc and seal.

6. 6

   After 15 minutes, rinse the pepper under small stream of cold water.

7. 7

   Rub the pepper thoroughly until all the skin has come off, or carefully scrape skin with a butter knife to remove.

8. 8

   *Note:the amount of charring is open to debate; some people prefer them evenly darkened but not blackened, but others prefer them very charred- you'll need to experiment and decide for yourself.
