Bell Pepper Strips (Roasted)

Ingredients

• 1 large bell pepper (red, yellow, or orange)

Method

1. 01

   Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. 02

   Wash the bell pepper and cut into wide strips, removing seeds and white membranes.

3. 03

   Place strips skin-side up on the baking sheet.

4. 04

   Roast for 20–25 minutes until the skin is blistered and the flesh is completely tender.

5. 05

   Remove skin once cool enough to handle, then cut into finger-width strips for serving.

How to offer

Place 2–3 roasted pepper strips on the high chair tray. Roasting makes them very soft and sweet — much safer and more palatable than raw. Supervise closely throughout the meal.

Storage

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
