Herb-roasted peppers with garlic

The transformative power of roasting is shown off to delicious effect in this colorful side dish. When roasted, bell peppers become tender and smoky and garlic cloves become soft and caramelized with a gentler, slightly sweet flavor. Here we’ve roasted individual cloves instead of a whole head of garlic, which speeds the process. Roasted garlic is something that you can’t have too much of though since it can be stirred into salad dressings, dips, and soups and used to season any type of protein. Add some additional cloves to the sheet pan and freeze for up to three months. If you’re short on time, you can jarred roasted red peppers instead of roasting your own.
