Microwave roasted red pepper


Today's recipe is a classic in our house, since, as you know, we do not have an oven, so we adapt all the recipes we can to make them in the microwave. We wanted to share with you this recipe for roasted peppers because it is very easy, it does not stain anything and the peppers, once cooked, last perfectly for several days in the fridge.

Ingredients:
- 2 red peppers
- Olive oil

Recipe:
- Wash the peppers well and dry them with absorbent paper.
- In a microwave-safe dish (we have used a pyrex one), place the two peppers, one next to the other but without touching.
- Pour a splash of olive oil in a small bowl and, with the help of a kitchen brush, paint both peppers on all sides.
- In case you do not have a brush, spread the oil on the peppers with your hands.
- Put them back in the dish and cook them in the microwave for 7 minutes at 800W.
- Then, turn the peppers over and cook them another 7 minutes at the same power.
- Once you have cooked them above and below, cook them 1 minute more on each side.
- Take them out of the microwave and cover the source with aluminum foil.
- Let the peppers rest and sweat until they cool completely (you can see how they look in the photo below).
- Peel them carefully.
