Roasted peppers refer to peppers that have been roasted over an open flame or in an oven until their skin is charred and their flesh becomes soft. This process brings out a rich, smoky flavor that enhances the natural sweetness of the pepper. Roasted peppers are often used as a garnish or added to dishes for extra taste and color. They can be found in various forms such as whole roasted peppers, roasted pepper puree, or roasted red pepper sauce.
