Method
- Set the oven to 200°C/392°F/Gas Mark 6.
- Place the peppers, cut side down on a baking tray and drizzle over the 2 tbps olive oil. Roast the peppers for about 30 mins, or until the skins start to char. Remove the peppers from the oven and immediately place them in a freezer bag. Fold bag over to seal in steam and leave the peppers to cool, then it should be easy to peel away the skins.
