How To Make Roasted Peppers In A Slow Cooker
Did you know that you can make roasted peppers in the slow cooker? You can! They turn out with a flavor just like peppers roasted in the oven or over a flame but they’re easier to make, and to peel! This recipe was sponsored by Divemex.
A few weeks ago I wanted to make a slow cooker red pepper soup. I started by putting some halved bell peppers into my slow cooker for a while. What came out was a delightful surprise: Soft-fleshed peppers with a flavor just like roasted peppers.
The best part was that unlike with other methods for roasted peppers that I’ve tried, the skins came off of these really easily.
Yes, I do know about the trick of putting hot roasted peppers into a paper bag to steam them a bit and make the skins come off more easily. I’ve never found that it works super-well.
Regardless, with this roasted bell pepper method, there’s no need for a paper bag. The peppers have essentially been steamed to cook and so the skins come off with a tug. Note: This has turned out to be true for about 90% of the peppers that I’ve roasted in this way. There has been the odd stubborn one. If you get a stubborn one, use a paring knife to help get the peel off.
Once you have the peppers roasted, you can use them to make this recipe for Chilled Roasted Red Pepper Soup.
Now here’s how to make roasted peppers in your slow cooker:

Did you know that you can make roasted peppers in the slow cooker? You can! They turn out with a flavor just like peppers roasted in the oven or over a flame but they’re easier to make, and to peel!
Ingredients
-
- 1 tsp. olive oil
- 5 red bell peppers, halved and seeded
Instructions
- Rub the inside of the slow cooker with the olive oil.
- Add the pepper halves.
- Cook on high for 3 hours stirring halfway through.
- Turn off the slow cooker and remove the lid. Let the peppers cool.
- Grasp the peel of a pepper half at an edge and gently tug to remove it in one piece. Sometimes the peel doesn’t come off easily. Use a paring knife to remove the peels in these rare cases. Repeat with remaining peppers.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

I have used this method several times now & it’s just the best! Sharing on my blog today :)
Thanks Gina!
…” the trick of putting hot roasted peppers into a paper bag to steam them a bit and make the skins come off more easily. I’ve never found that it works super-well.” HINT: that’s because you shouldn’t use a paper bag, you have to use a plastic zip lock bag other wise the steam from the peppers just makes the bag wet and that’s why this method didn’t work for you. Try it. Skins come off easy every time.
Thanks Judith. I’ve actually tried it with a couple kinds of bags and they still often need to be scraped off with a paring knife. Oh well!

I just found a recipe for roasted red pepper soup that I wanted to try in a slow cooker and was wondering if I could roast the peppers in a sow cooker or if I had to do them stove top or buy them from a store (last resort), and then I found this recipe of yours!

I don’t really have a fave. I am looking for recipes that use peppers.
One of my favourite bell pepper recipes is Greek salad.
those look amazing. I used to always buy jarred roasted peppers for sandwiches. They look delicious. Would you consider canning them?
I love making stuffed bell peppers with hamburger, onions, mushrooms, hot sause, Worchester sause, provolone cheese, tomatoe sause. I change the peppers up many times (green, red, yellow)
