Parmesan Peppers

These roasted Parmesan peppers are a vibrant addition to any table, offering a wonderful balance of natural sweetness and savoury depth. By roasting red, orange, and yellow peppers at a high temperature, the skins soften beautifully while the garlic and fresh thyme infuse the oil with a fragrant, earthy aroma. It is a simple yet effective way to elevate a humble vegetable into a standout side dish that pairs perfectly with grilled meats or crusty sourdough bread.

As a versatile vegetarian dish, this recipe relies on the contrast between the umami-rich melted cheese and a bright hit of fresh lemon juice added just before serving. Whether you are looking for a healthy Mediterranean-inspired accompaniment or a quick tapas-style sharing plate, these charred peppers provide a sophisticated flavour profile with minimal preparation. Use a high-quality aged Parmesan to achieve a crisp, golden crust under the grill.
