Be"SIDE" myself!

Deciding on a Side Dishes are often the hardest part of the menu!  Trying to come up with something a little different... and at this time of the year... FAST and EASY!

This colorful recipe is one of the fastest and easiest side dishes I have ever come across!

Roasted Baby Bell Peppers
(Chef Kalen Quin)

1 Bag* Mixed Baby Bell Peppers
Tuscan Herb EVOO
Arrabbiata Sea Salt and Spice Blend

1. Pre-heat Oven to 400 Degrees
2. Rinse & Drain Peppers
3. Toss with Tuscan Herb EVOO and Sea Salt and Spice Blend
4. Place on a parchment lined baking sheet and roast for about 10 - 15 minutes until they are fragrant and tender.  I like them slightly blackened, but you can shake pan after about 5 minutes if you don't want them to blacken on the bottom.

*These peppers come in multiple sized packages.  I have seen them at the warehouse clubs in 2-3 gallon-size bags and in the grocery stores in gallon-sized bags and also in quart-sized "clam-shells".

Be creative with the flavors of Oil and Salt!


These little, roasted peppers would also make a GREAT appetizer with a creamy dip made of 1/2 Cup each of Sour Cream and Mayo and 1 Tbsp of Parmesan Asiago Dipper!


Now... wasn't that EASY!

  2. The Wild Garlic would be REALLY good with this! Wild Garlic Herb Blend is available at Olivelle! You could make it the same as above or use the recipe on the jar! Thank you, Leslie!
