I love your idea of using these roasted peppers on a charcuterie board! Thumbs up!
Thanks, Susan. My family enjoys these peppers every week, so I make them often.
I usually have a bag in the refrigerator but I never would have thought to sauté then whole…mainly because of seeds. I learn something new every day.
🙂 Happy to hear that Karen! We eat the entire thing, except for the little stem at the end. Try it sometime! They are delicious. And, even better as an appetizer; they add a lovely splash of color next to our charcuterie board. Enjoy!
