🥗 Ingredients (tap to check off)
- 6 large (about 700g) large red peppers, preferably long red / capia peppers
- 4 cloves garlic cloves, roughly chopped
- 0.25 cup fresh Italian parsley, finely chopped
- 0.33 cup (80ml) extra virgin olive oil
- 0.25 cup (60ml) apple cider vinegar or white wine vinegar
- 1 tsp fine sea salt
- 1 tsp granulated sugar
- 0.5 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (red pepper flakes, optional)
- 1 tbsp water (only if needed to submerge)
👨🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
Roast & Char the Peppers
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) or set your broiler/grill to high. Place the whole washed red capia peppers on a baking sheet and roast for 20–25 minutes, turning once halfway through, until skins are blistered, charred, and tender.
Steam to Loosen Skins
Immediately transfer the hot roasted peppers to a bowl and cover with a lid or plate for 10 minutes. The trapped steam will make peeling effortless.
Peel & Slice into Ribbons
Gently peel off the skins, discard stems and seeds, and tear or slice the roasted peppers lengthwise into wide, luscious ribbons.
Whisk the Marinade
In a clean glass jar or bowl, whisk together extra virgin olive oil, apple cider vinegar, salt, sugar, chopped garlic, fresh parsley, and optional red pepper flakes.
Pack & Submerge
Add the roasted pepper strips into the jar, pressing them gently with a spoon so they are fully submerged in the aromatic garlic-oil marinade (add 1 tbsp water only if needed).
Seal & Chill for 12–24 Hours
Close the jar tightly and shake gently. Refrigerate for 12–24 hours to let the peppers absorb all the rich, garlicky flavors.
Serve & Enjoy
Serve chilled or at room temperature with crusty bread, grilled meat, eggs, sandwiches, or mezze platters. Keep refrigerated for up to 10 days!
🥗 Freshness & Make-Ahead Guide
Make-Ahead Tip: Prep all vegetable ingredients and whisk the dressing in a separate jar up to 24 hours in advance. Keep both refrigerated.
Serving & Leftovers: Toss the greens with the dressing immediately before serving to maintain maximum crispness. Dressed leftovers are best consumed within 24 hours.
