One of my co-workers has a garden and gave me a basket of assorted peppers from her bounty. I knew that we would not be able to eat all of them before they would spoil and have to be tossed. So, I decided to roast all of them and use them in all sorts of ways, like adding to our salads, tossing with meats, and even pureeing them for use as a pepper sauce for fish, chicken or beef.
I started by cleaning and seeding most of the peppers. There were so many varieties, some of which I could not identify, so seeding was safer, as some of those jokers were HOT! I then placed them in a large bowl, and lightly oiled with olive oil, and added salt. I lined 2 sheets pans with parchment paper, tossed the peppers onto the sheet and put the sheet pans into the hot oven for roasting. It did not take long, maybe 15-20 minutes, and this is what they looked like coming out of the oven.

| Beautiful assortment! |

| Some for now, and freezing some for later. |
I ended up with 2 large roasting pans and was able to freeze a large bag for later use. Some are very mild and some NOT! But all will be enjoyed....Thanks to Crystal for sharing her harvest!
