Ingredients
- 2 lbs Italian long hot peppers washed and dried
- 6-8 whole garlic cloves or more
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil plus more for drizzling
- Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400℉. Toss the long hots and garlic cloves with olive oil, a bit of salt and pepper, then arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet. Make sure there is a little bit of room around each pepper - don't crowd the pan.
- Roast peppers for about 20 minutes or until they're softened and golden brown in spots. Toss peppers once half way through to promote even cooking.
- Transfer to a serving plate, generously drizzle with more olive oil and sprinkle with flaky sea salt. Serve them warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- Start with fresh peppers - make sure they're bright and crisp with glossy skin, not wilted and limp. And be sure to wash and dry them thoroughly before cooking!
- Wear gloves when handling hot peppers to avoid burning your hands or eyes.
- Add as many cloves of garlic as you wish - there's no limit!
- Line your baking pan with parchment paper first for easier clean up and to avoid any peppers sticking to the bottom of the pan.
