Choking risk: medium
Halve lengthwise, remove seeds and membrane. Roast at 400F for 20-25 minutes until very soft. The skin blisters and peels easily after roasting, peel for smoother texture. Offer halves as a finger food.
Roasted halves or strips. Soft enough for easy gumming. The concentrated sweet flavor makes them a crowd pleaser. Steam until very soft as an alternative to roasting.
Raw strips for snacking, stuffed and baked, or roasted alongside other vegetables.
Garden notes
Sweeter and more concentrated in flavor than bell peppers, and easier to grow, less water stress and disease pressure. Lunchbox Pepper varieties (red, orange, yellow) are prolific in containers. Start indoors 8-10 weeks before last frost. Harvest when fully colored for maximum sweetness.
