1. Store peppers unwashed — adding moisture before storing them can lead to premature rotting.
2. Surprisingly, green peppers will hold on a bit longer than red peppers in the fridge — red peppers tend to get rubbery with too much time spent in the cold.
3. Once chopped, wrap peppers in a cloth or paper towel and store in an airtight container in the fridge.
Preheat your grill on high heat, then place the whole peppers (can also use halves or quarters) and close the lid. Time to char will vary, but expect about 20 minutes, turning your peppers along the way. You are looking for the skin to blacken. This can also be done under your broiler.
Roasting peppers is a simple technique that not only helps enhance the natural sweetness of yellow, orange and red peppers, but also gives your dishes an added smokey, tangy flavor. Roasted peppers taste great in sandwiches, sauces, eggs, soups, dips or sides!

As soon as your peppers are charred and softened, immediately place them in a sealed container. The heat will create steam to help loosen the skin. Once cooled enough to touch, peel off the skin and remove the stem and seeds. Store in a jar and cover with olive oil. Roasted peppers will keep in your fridge for 2 - 3 days.
