How to Make Grilled Peppers

How to Peel Peppers After Roasting
After roasting you will need to remove the skins before eating. The easiest method for this is to wait a few moments. Place the peppers in a bowl and cover the bowl. After a few moments the steam will release the pepper’s skin and it will peel off easily.
