  • 4 Bell peppers
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt

Directions :

Step 1: roasting the peppers
1- Place the bell peppers on a baking pan covered with foil. 
2- Put the baking sheet in a preheated oven to 400 F degrees / 200 C.
3- Roast the peppers for around 20 minutes. Then, turn the peppers to their other side. 
4- Place back in the oven and roast for another 20 minutes.

Step 2: Steaming the peppers
1- Place the peppers in a plastic bag and seal the top.
2- Let the peppers rest for around 10 minutes, where they steam in their own heat. This will make the skin easier to peel.
