In the summer, I love preparing roasted peppers: they’re versatile, full of flavor, and ideal both as a side dish and as a base for many other preparations.

Once ready, the peppers are easy to peel and can be seasoned with garlic, fresh basil, extra virgin olive oil, a touch of apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper. The result is an aromatic, colorful, and truly irresistible dish, perfect to prepare in advance and enjoy cold.
