Things I’ve Learned

Grilling can be tricky; ensure your grill is hot enough for a good char. Store leftover grilled peppers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply place them on a skillet over medium heat until warmed through. You can prepare the peppers a day ahead and grill them just before serving for a fresh taste.
