1
Preheat the oven and lightly coat a roasting pan with olive oil.
2
Cut each red bell pepper lengthwise into four equal pieces and remove the white seeds and membranes completely, ensuring they are thoroughly cleaned.
3
Arrange the cleaned pepper pieces on the prepared roasting pan in a single layer.
4
Broil in the oven for about 20 minutes until the tops of the peppers begin to blacken and char. Watch closely as cooking time varies by oven.
5
Transfer the roasted peppers to a plate, cover with a lid, and let them steam and cool down—this softens the skin and makes peeling easier.
6
Once cooled, gently peel away the charred skin by hand, placing the dried skin on a clean kitchen towel.
7
Place the peeled peppers in a serving dish and drizzle generously with extra virgin olive oil.
8
Season with salt, dry oregano, and black pepper to taste. Layer the peppers and season each layer.
9
Finish by ensuring all peppers are well coated with oil and seasonings. Serve as an antipasto, in salads, or in sandwiches.
