Roasted Red Bell Pepper

Roasted red bell pepper is a vegetable that has been cooked by roasting, typically over an open flame or in an oven. This process softens the pepper and gives it a smoky, slightly sweet flavor. It is often peeled after roasting to remove the charred skin.

Manufacturers use roasted red bell pepper to add a sweet, smoky flavor and a vibrant red color to foods. It is commonly found in dips, salsas, sauces, pasta dishes, and as a spread or ingredient in sandwiches and salads.

Roasted red bell pepper is considered a food ingredient and is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a source of vitamins A and C, and antioxidants like capsanthin. Regulatory bodies like EFSA have evaluated peppers and their components, generally finding them safe for consumption. No specific health concerns are associated with typical dietary intake of roasted red bell pepper.
