I tried these for the Pick Your Chef event, and even though I've been roasting peppers for eons I was very happy with this recipe, must be the parsley. I actually made this recipe twice in one day, once with some Hungarian sweet paprika and the second time with some smoked paprika. Both times the peppers came out amazing. Used one batch in a pasta salad and the second batch I served with grilled chicken breasts. Excellent recipe!
