Ingredients

Method

Directions

1

Prepare the Grill

Preheat your wood-fired grill or oven to a high temperature, around 500°F (260°C). Ensure that the wood is burning well and producing a steady heat.

2

Prep the Peppers

Wash the red bell peppers and pat them dry. Slice each pepper in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and stems.

3

Season the Peppers

In a bowl, toss the pepper halves with olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper until well coated.

4

Roast the Peppers

Place the peppers skin-side down on the grill or in a grill basket. Close the lid and roast for about 15-20 minutes, or until the skins are charred and blistered.

5

Finish with Balsamic and Basil

Remove the peppers from the grill and drizzle them with balsamic vinegar. Top with fresh basil leaves before serving.

6

Serve

Serve the wood-fired roasted red peppers warm as a side dish or as a topping for salads, sandwiches, or pasta.
