WHAT PAIRS WELL WITH THESE SUMMER APPETIZERS?

Serve these delicious appetizers on a platter or charcuterie board alongside deli meats (sliced ham, salami, prosciutto, and coppa), crostini, olives, crackers, pretzels, nuts, fresh fruit, and cheese!

CAN I STORE THESE ROASTED RED PEPPER APPETIZERS?

Yes, you can store these appetizers in an airtight container in the fridge, but I recommend only storing them for a day at most for the best flavor and texture.

Don’t freeze these appetizers – they won’t hold up well, and the texture will be significantly affected.

HOW DO I STOP THE AVOCADO FROM TURNING BROWN?

Avocado will naturally turn brown when it’s in contact with air (oxidation). To slow this process down, lightly spray the freshly cut avocado chunks with lemon juice or toss the avocado in a shallow bowl of lemon juice.

It’s also best to only cut the avocados just before assembling these easy appetizers to prevent discoloration on the avocado when serving to friends and family.

CAN I ROAST THE RED PEPPERS MYSELF?

Absolutely! I’ve used a jar of Mezzetta Roasted Red Peppers for convenience, but you could roast your red peppers instead. Here are the steps to roast red peppers:

  1. Preheat the oven to broil.
  2. Wash the red peppers and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towel.
  3. Place the red peppers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and roast for 5-7 minutes until the skin blisters and chars. 
  4. Turn the red peppers over with tongs and continue to roast for another 5-7 minutes until the other side is also blistered and charred.
  5. Remove the red peppers from the oven and transfer them to a heat-safe bowl and cover the bowl to steam the peppers, which will allow the skin to peel off easier.
  6. Allow the peppers to rest for 15 minutes, then carefully peel off the skin.
  7. Once peeled, slice the peppers open to remove the stem, seeds, and membranes, and then slice the peppers as directed by the recipe.
