Ways to Use Bell Peppers

Bell peppers cook quickly, especially when sliced thin. A few minutes in a hot skillet is usually enough to soften them while keeping a little bite.

Red, yellow, and orange peppers are sweeter than green peppers. Green peppers have a slightly sharper flavor that works well in savory dishes.

If you want deeper flavor, let the peppers cook a little longer so the edges start to brown.

Bell peppers also roast well in the oven and become softer and sweeter as they cook.
