Ingredients

  • 6 Large red peppers
  • 2-3 Tbs smoked sea salt
  • 2 Tbs really good extra virgin olive oil
Directions
  • Preheat oven to 400F.
  • Rinse red peppers and slice lengthwise, removing stem and seeds.
  • Arrange skin-side up on a foil lined pan, drizzle on half of the olive oil and sprinkle on half of the salt. Don't worry of the pepper halves are touching oor even slightly overlapping.
  • Roast for 30-40 minutes, or until quarter-sized black spots begin to appear across the peppers.
  • Remove from heat and allow to cool - around 5 minutes.
  • Peel off and discard skin and any seeds that remain
  • Add peeled peppers to blender, along with remaining olive oil.
  • Blend until smooth, adding the remaining smoked salt to taste as you do so.
  • Use immediately, or pour into a mason jar and reserve - will keep for a week refrigerated. Enjoy!
