Ever made a recipe that called for an ingredient you rarely purchase? It’s so frustrating! Roasted red peppers are an ingredient I rarely have on hand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
No one can deny that roasting red peppers intensifies their sweet flavor and gives them a beautifully charred smoky flavor. However, store-bought roasted red bell peppers tend to be on the pricier side. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Therefore, it is much cheaper to purchase red bell peppers and roast them than to buy their expensive counterparts. However, before we get to the roasted red pepper recipe, let’s explore the health benefits of bell peppers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bell peppers have a range of health benefits. The bell pepper’s fruit, leaves, and seeds contain bioactive compounds<\/a>, including phenols, flavonoids, carotenoids, tocopherol, and pectic polysaccharides<\/a>. These compounds have antioxidant, immunosuppressive, antibacterial, antifungal, and immunostimulant properties. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Bell peppers contain neuroprotective, antidiabetic, antitumoral activities and can potentially be used as a functional food additive. Bell peppers contain low levels of saturated fat<\/a>, cholesterol, and sodium. In addition to this, bell peppers are also a rich source of manganese, niacin, vitamin K, riboflavin, thiamin, and potassium. Peppers are also rich in dietary fiber, vitamins B6, A, C, E, and folate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
