Step 1
1. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees. Place the bell peppers on a large baking sheet lined with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour. Using tongs, turn the bell peppers every 15 minutes onto one of four sides. This way, the peppers will be evenly roasted on all sides and will not burn.
