Ingredients

  • 6 green bell peppers, halved and seeded (or 8-10 Italian frying peppers, halved and seeded. Do NOT substitute red peppers)
  • 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil, plus more for oiling baking sheet and brushing peppers
  • 6 large garlic cloves, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar (the best quality you can find)
  • flaky sea salt

Method

  • Preheat oven to 425°F.
  • Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil and brush it lightly with olive oil.
  • Place peppers on foil, skin side up.
  • Brush with additional oil.
  • Bake until peppers are tender and blistered in places, 20 minutes for Italian peppers, 25-30 minutes for bell peppers.
  • Meanwhile, heat garlic in the remaining 1/3 cup oil in a small skillet over low heat, about 2 minutes.
  • Increase heat to medium and cook, stirring, until garlic just begins to brown and crisp, 2-3 minutes.
  • Remove garlic with a slotted spoon and set aside.
  • Reserve the oil in which the garlic was cooked.
  • When peppers are done, transfer to a bowl, cover, and let stand 15 minutes, then peel. Italian peppers may not need to be peeled.
  • Arrange peppers on a serving plate.
  • Drizzle with vinegar and reserved garlic oil.
  • Sprinkle with sea salt and scatter the garlic chips on top.
