How to Roast Peppers Step-by-Step

If using a barbecue or broiler: Remove the peppers once they are charred and place in a paper bag. Close bag tightly and allow to sit for 15 to 20 minutes. The steam in the bag will loosen the skin for easier peeling. Set bag on a plate because the condensation and juices from the pepper may make the bag very wet on the bottom.

Note: There is a big debate regarding the safety of plastic bags and how they may leech chemicals into food. To avoid any plastic chemicals, use a paper bag.
