Sweet roasted red peppers marinated in garlic, onions, oregano, thyme, and balsamic vinegar.
Roasted red peppers are one of my favourite foods and every fall I roast up a large basket of them and put them in the freezer for use throughout the year. Normally I just use them as ingredients in other recipes but it is always fun to dress them up a bit and enjoy them as an appetizer. I like to marinate them in a balsamic marinade that includes olive oil, garlic, onion, oregano, thyme, and a touch of pepper. These marinated roasted red peppers are great all by themselves or on a platter with other appetizers and they also make great ingredients or condiments in other dishes like sandwiches.

Marinated Roasted Red Peppers is a very traditional recipe in Romania, my home country, but we always, always add sugar on them…I'm always disappointed when I buy marinated peppers here because of that; Your salad sounds very flavorful with that combination of spices!
Will have to try this. Looove roasted red peppers!
I'm loving this idea! Once in a while I make a nice cheese platter up for dinner and am always trying to think of interesting vegetables, etc. to put on it….this will be perfect.
I have eaten these out of a jar before but I can imagine they are so much better homemade!
