Nutritional values

Peppers provide plenty of antioxidants including vitamin C, vitamin E and carotenoids, an unbeatable combination for protection against free radicals!

Roasting the peppers in this recipe requires little time and effort. We recommend roasting a few more than this recipe calls for, and keeping them in the refrigerator to eat with salads or rice later in the week.
