Marinated Peppers with Garlic and Basil
Traditionally, roasted peppers are cooked over an open flame. With Anyday, save time and effort by using the microwave, which gently steams the bell peppers and helps make the peeling process a breeze. Drizzle with good olive oil, and toss with sliced garlic and fresh herbs for the quickest and juiciest “roasted” marinated peppers.
All of Anyday’s recipes are tested (and retested!) in many different microwaves and home kitchens to make sure they work — and work well.

Serving suggestions & tips
Add some black olives, diced feta cheese, and cherry tomatoes for a delicious bruschetta-like topping. Use these peppers to top pizzas and flatbreads. Chop the marinated peppers and toss them into salads, pasta, rice, or meat dishes. Microwave ovens vary, even with the same wattages. Adjust cooking times as needed.
