Cooked peppers are a versatile ingredient found in a variety of cuisines, including Mediterranean, Mexican, and Asian dishes. They come in different types, such as bell peppers, which are mild and sweet, and chili peppers, which bring heat and spice. Cooking enhances their natural sweetness while softening their texture, making them ideal for stir-fries, sauces, and roasted dishes. Nutritionally, cooked peppers are rich in vitamins A and C, antioxidants, and fiber, supporting eye health, immunity, and digestion. They are also low in calories, making them a great addition to a balanced diet. However, some methods of preparation, like frying, can add extra fats and calories, so it’s best to opt for steaming, grilling, or baking to preserve their health benefits. Whether vibrant and sweet or bold and spicy, cooked peppers are a nutritious and delicious way to enhance any meal.
