A Smoky Twist on Classic Roasted Peppers
There’s something irresistible about the rich sweetness of roasted red peppers—and when you add a smoky kiss of chipotle, magic happens.
At The Little Shop of Olive Oils, we love pairing seasonal favorites with bold, flavorful infusions. This simple dish transforms roasted red peppers into a versatile, smoky-sweet delight using our Chipotle Infused Olive Oil. It’s the perfect balance of heat and richness, making it ideal as a stand-alone appetizer, sandwich topping, or salad mix-in.
Roasting your own peppers is easier than you think, and the results are far superior to the jarred version. Plus, tossing them in our chipotle oil gives them a gourmet edge with almost no effort.

Sweet and smoky roasted red peppers finished with Chipotle Olive Oil for a simple, flavorful side dish that’s perfect for sandwiches, salads, or serving on its own.
Ingredients
- 4 large red bell peppers
-
2 tbsp Chipotle Infused Olive Oil
- 1 clove garlic, finely minced
- Sea salt, to taste
- Fresh cracked black pepper, to taste
-

- Place peppers whole on the baking sheet and roast for 20–25 minutes, turning occasionally until skin is blistered and charred.
- Remove from oven and place peppers in a bowl covered tightly with plastic wrap. Let them steam for 10 minutes—this makes peeling easier.
- Peel skins, remove seeds, and slice peppers into thin strips.

Tracey’s Notes
This is one of those recipes that’s simple in the best way. The peppers get naturally sweet as they roast, and the Chipotle Olive Oil adds just enough smoky heat to make them feel a little more special. I love keeping a batch of these on hand—they’re perfect for adding to just about anything.
