What it is
Roasted red bell peppers are sweet bell peppers (Capsicum annuum) that have been exposed to high heat, typically by roasting over an open flame or in an oven. This process caramelizes their natural sugars and gives them a smoky flavor and tender texture. They are often peeled after roasting.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use roasted red bell peppers primarily for their distinct flavor and texture. They add a sweet, smoky, and slightly charred taste to foods. They are commonly found in prepared meals, soups, sauces, dips, spreads, and as a pizza topping.
Health notes
Roasted red bell peppers are considered a vegetable and are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. They are a source of vitamins A and C and antioxidants. Regulatory bodies like EFSA and JECFA have evaluated various bell pepper components, but specific evaluations for 'roasted red bell peppers' as a distinct ingredient with defined limits are not typically highlighted. Consuming them as part of a balanced diet is associated with general health benefits attributed to vegetables.
Allergen info
