Slow-Roasted Bell Peppers

Slow-Roasted Bell Peppers
Servings: 2

Ingredients

  • 5 yellow, orange, or red bell peppers, halved, seeds and ribs removed
  • 6 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, divided, plus more for serving
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 1 Tbsp. fig jam
  • 1 Tbsp. white balsamic vinegar or white wine vinegar
  • Kosher salt
  • 2 Tbsp. oregano leaves

Instructions

  1. Heat broiler. Toss peppers with 2 Tbsp. oil on a rimmed baking sheet to coat and arrange cut side down. Broil, rotating baking sheet halfway through, until skin is blackened, 12–14 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 200°F and continue to roast peppers until very soft but not mushy, about 1 hour. Let cool slightly, then scrape off and discard skins. Cut peppers lengthwise into 1/2"-wide strips.
  2. Whisk lemon juice, jam, vinegar, and 4 Tbsp. oil in a medium bowl. If fig jam is very coarse, use a fork to mash into smaller pieces; season dressing with salt. Mix in peppers; taste and season well with salt. Toss to coat.
  3. Just before serving, mix in oregano and drizzle generously with more oil.
  4. Peppers (without oregano) can be made 2 days ahead. Cover; chill.
