Roasted Anaheim peppers
Add this vegetarian side to the menu the next time you cook on the grill.
This recipe for roasted peppers was inspired by a summer visit to Bosnia. Featuring vibrant “paprika” peppers (similar to Anaheim peppers but milder), the method is simple and yields a delicious vegetarian side dish. Enjoy the roasted peppers plain or add cheese for an extra layer of flavor.
