Roasted red peppers are a vibrant and flavorful addition to many dishes, originating from Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisine. They are made by charring or baking sweet red bell peppers until the skin softens and develops a smoky aroma. This process enhances their natural sweetness and tenderness. Rich in vitamins A and C, roasted red peppers are also a good source of potassium and antioxidants, promoting immune support, skin health, and heart health. They are naturally low in calories, fat, and sodium, making them a healthy option for a balanced diet. However, watch for jarred or pre-packaged varieties, as they may contain added oils, sugar, or preservatives. Perfect as a topping, puree, or salad ingredient, roasted red peppers can elevate simple dishes while contributing to a nutrient-rich meal.
