What Peppers Are Good for Roasting?

What Do I Serve with Roasted Peppers and Onions?
Roasted peppers and onions are good as a stand-alone side dish or served alongside anything from steak or chicken to fish or shrimp. You can also use them as a taco topping, in a sandwich, as a quiche filling or tossed with pasta or rice. They make a great hot dog, sausage or hamburger topping too!
Can I Freeze Roasted Peppers and Onions?
Yes, you can but with some limitations. They are best served right away as a side dish, taco or salad topping where they can offer freshness and crunch. But you can use frozen, thawed roasted peppers and onions in things like quiche and scrambled eggs where the softer texture that results from freezing and thawing will be less noticeable. To freeze roasted peppers and onions, spread them out in an even layer on a baking sheet before freezing and transfer them to a storage container after they are frozen to prevent them from sticking together. You can keep frozen peppers and onions in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Nutrition Facts(per serving)
- Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
