3. Method: Cooking peppers in the microwave
You can also cook the peppers in the microwave. It’s debatable whether you save energy compared to the oven, but it heats up faster:
Wrap the quartered peppers in parchment paper. Place them in the microwave and heat them for five to seven minutes on high. Let the peppers cool a little and then remove the skin.
4. Method: Peel the peppers with a vegetable peeler
If you want raw peeled peppers, you can try peeling the skin with a vegetable peeler or paring knife. It’s not entirely easy – it works best when the peppers are still fresh and firm. Depending on the shape of the pepper, it may be easier to peel the whole pepper or cut it into quarters first.
However, keep in mind that most of the vitamins are found under the skin and only peel the peppers if absolutely necessary for the recipe and taste.
