Dunbar's Roasted Red & Yellow Pepper Pieces
What it is
These are sweet bell peppers that have been roasted to bring out their natural sweetness and smoky flavor. The roasting process softens the peppers and gives them a slightly charred appearance. They are then cut into convenient bite-sized pieces and packed in a brine or oil to preserve them. This product offers a convenient way to enjoy the taste of roasted peppers without the effort of roasting them yourself.
How people cook with it

You can use these roasted pepper pieces straight from the package. Drain them well if they are packed in liquid. They can be added directly to salads, stirred into warm pasta sauces, or layered onto homemade pizzas before baking. For a quick appetizer, blend them into a creamy dip with cream cheese or yogurt. They also make a flavorful addition to sandwiches and wraps, providing a sweet and slightly smoky counterpoint to other ingredients. Their tender texture makes them easy to incorporate into various culinary creations.
