  • Pre heat the oven at 220°C or 425°F, if you are using the oven, your other option is to roast them in a pan with a bit of oil until the skin can be removed easily
  • Put the peppers in the oven for about 30 minutes
  • To quickly cool them down, put the peppers in a strainer and let some tempered water run over them. If you use cold water, the skin might be a bit difficult to remove!
  • Remove the skin of the peppers
  • Add all the ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth
  • Enjoy!

Notes

  • Some variations of this sauce include using shallots or other herbs. I personally like to keep this very simple as it turns delicious!
  • You can also add 1 teaspoon of veggie stock powder to give it more flavor
  • This is a vegan red pepper coulis 
  • This recipe is whole30 compliant
  • I enjoy making this as a spicy roasted red pepper sauce by adding 1 or 2 spicy chilies (African bird's eye chilies, for example)
  • If you are using a Nutri Ninja, and the small bullet blender, I would not remove the skin, it will just completely "melt" if you blend it for around 40 seconds. It does not have the same taste, but I still like having the whole food!
