Marinated Roasted Sweet Peppers

Batch cooking seems to be all the rage these days.

On Instagram I see photos of neatly packed containers with meals precisely portioned out.

I do most of my cooking on the weekends, so I always end up with leftovers for the week ahead. But Iโ€™m not that organized to divvy them into individual Tupperware.

This food eventually ends up in some sort of spontaneous grain bowl or salad. 

I am the queen of the garbage salad. 

Egg bakes and scrambles are great for odds and ends, too.

Thereโ€™s no shame in creating unexpected yet tasty combinations that clear out the fridge.

Instead of planning full meals in advance, I prefer having a stash of flavor boosters that do wonders for the most basic pantry items.

Pesto is my favorite example of this. Donโ€™t limit pesto to just pasta. It can be used in salad dressing or stirred into quinoa or another grain.

Slow-roasted tomatoes are also something I keep in my fridge at all times. At least twice a week for dinner I eat scrambled eggs with tomatoes, greens and whatever other veggies I have on hand.

Last weekend at the farmers market I spotted a bin full of mini sweet peppers. In that moment inspiration struck.

How To Make Marinated Roasted Sweet Peppers

Thinking about my roasted tomato obsession, I decided I could do something similar with those little peppers.

I made marinated roasted sweet peppers. 

First I preheated the oven to 400 degrees F. Then I tossed the peppers with olive oil, salt and pepper.

I roasted the peppers for about 30 minutes, flipping them halfway through cooking.

Once the peppers were wrinkled and charred, I put them in a bowl, covered it and let the steam do the work.

Their skins peeled right off. After that I removed the stems and seeds.

To add more flavor, I stirred in white balsamic vinegar and red pepper flakes.

Marinated roasted sweet peppers will keep for 2 weeks in a jar in the fridge. I love them in pastas, eggs, grains, on sandwiches and simply on toast.
