Method 3 Steps

  1. 1

    Toss the peppers with olive oil, garlic powder, white pepper, and salt. Place them in an ovenproof dish, spread out evenly, under a hot grill. Once their skins have started to blister and color, turn them over to achieve the same result on the other side. They are now ready to serve.

  2. 2

    Alternatively, to shallow-fry, heat the olive oil in a pan over high heat, add the seasoned peppers, and cook until the skins start to blister and color.

  3. 3

    Note: The best way to eat them is to bite into them while holding the stems. Keep the stems on!
