Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup olive oil extra virgin
  • 3-4 cloves garlic
  • 4 red bell peppers medium
  • 5-10 basil leaves
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 1 tsbp honey
  • 2 tablespoon vinegar
  • 2 thyme sprigs
  • 1 teaspoon Black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon Red pepper flakes
  • 1 teaspoon Salt

Instructions
 

  • Cut the peppers in half lengthwise. Place them on a baking sheet with some thyme and garlic and bake for 20-30 minutes.
  • Allow the peppers to cool down and remove the charred skin as much as you can. Cut into strips.
  • Add them to a bowl or a glass jar with the rest of the ingredients and set aside for a few hours.
  • Refrigerate for up to a day and use whenever needed!

Notes

Make sure your oven is at the highest possible temperature under the broiler option, and is preheated before you put the tray in. The point is to emulate flame high heat to get that nice char on the skin of the peppers.
Remember to use the best, juiciest and most and most plump and wrinkled peppers that you can get your hands on.
Remember to use a clean spoon to serve the peppers, and refrigerate the leftovers immediately.
These jarred roasted peppers can last for a week in the refrigerator if handled well, if not longer. Make sure the peppers are completely covered in oil before you refrigerate them.
