Roasted Peppers and Onions

Plan Z Phase: This is a Z2 (ZReduction) recipe.

Serving size:  ¾ cup

Ingredients:

• 4 bell peppers. For this dish I use a combo of red, green, yellow and orange. I only use a few green ones as I find them too strong.  Remove seeds and cut the peppers so they are in ¼ strips.
• 1 large onion cut in half and then sliced to make half-moon pieces
• 2 tsp of minced garlic (jar garlic will work)
• olive oil spray
• sea salt and pepper

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Spray a large 9″ x 13″ ovenproof pan with olive oil. Put in the peppers and onions and spray again and stir along with the minced garlic. Grate on sea salt and pepper.

Roast the peppers for 30 minute and then stir. Continue roasting for up to 20 minutes more or until the pepper edges on a few begin to char. You want the onions and peppers to be fully roasted so the sweetness really comes out.

Variations:

• You can add some cracked red pepper flakes to make them zippy.  I’d start with no more than a ¼ tsp. You can always add more after you taste. The roasting process increases the heat from the cracked pepper.
• Or you can add spices or herbs to change the flavor. You can add a bit of Italian seasoning for an Italian feel or even a bit of curry powder or five spice for Asian.

Enjoy!

Cheers,
