How do I roast my own red peppers?

Lemme tell ya: this is an eeeeasy one.

All you do it just toss roughly chopped red peppers in a baking dish with olive oil, paprika and fresh pepper. Then bake in a pre-heated oven at 400 degrees F for 20 minutes. That’s it!

Make ahead tip: got a hot oven from say, Friday Pizza Night?🍕

Pop the red peppers in and get the roasting out of the way.

Store in an air-tight container overnight and make the black bean soup in the next day or two.
