Calories: 65kcal
Ingredients
- 3 large red bell peppers
- 5 tbsp Parmesan cheese shredded
- 12 leaves fresh basil
- 2 cloves garlic chopped
- 1/2 lemon juiced (or more to taste)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp red wine vinegar (or more to taste)
Instructions
- Slice peppers in half lengthwise and remove stem and seeds. Place on baking sheet and bake at 400'F for 30 minutes. Rotating pan halfway through baking.
- Let peppers cool a few minutes. Peel the skin off peppers. The skin should be slightly charred and come off easily. If not, roast them for a few more minutes. It is okay if you don't get all of the skin off!
- Combine peeled & roasted peppers with remaining ingredients in a food processor. Blend until smooth, about 1 minute. Serve immediately! You may want to heat the sauce on the stove or microwave.
