Big-Batch Marinated Bell Peppers

From the kitchen of Carly

Charred peppers at their best. High heat blackens the skin, trapping sweetness underneath. Tear them into strips, dress with good olive oil and vinegar, then let them marinate into something deeper and more complex. Perfect for meal prep, even better by day three.
