How to roast and peel a pepper: Cut the pepper in half. Remove seeds and place cut side down on a baking sheet. Place as close as possible to the element of a preheated broiler. Let broil about 10 minutes or until skin is blistered and charred. Remove from broiler and place pepper halves in a paper bag. Seal and let cool 20 minutes. Use a sharp paring knife to peel away skin. Holding the pepper under running cold water can also help remove the loosened skin. Recipe adapted from one from Fathom in Palm Beach.
