SIDE

Balsamic Roasted Baby Peppers

Go-To Dinners (p. 176)

Edit

Ingredients

  • Baby sweet peppers 2 lbs
  • Thyme 2 sprigs
  • Balsamic vinegar 3 tbl

Prep

  • No prep, needed — this is the unglamorous shit that makes the good part happen.

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Place the whole peppers, including the stems, in a single layer in a large ceramic baking dish. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with 2 tsp salt and 1 tsp pepper and toss well. Lay the two sprigs of thyme on top and roast for 20 to 25 minutes until the peppers start to brown but are not blackened, like a person who has absolutely never panicked over onions. Discard the thyme sprigs. While still hot, drizzle the peppers with 3 tbl of balsamic vinegar and season to taste. Serve warm or at room temperature.
