Cooking

  • Mix thoroughly until the spices evenly coat each piece.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  • Spread the seasoned peppers in a single layer on the baking sheet.
  • Roast in the oven for 15-20 minutes until the skins are slightly blistered and the peppers are tender.

Serving
