"Buying bottled roasted peppers can be very expensive, but if you buy them fresh in season, when they are cheap, you can roast them yourself and freeze them for later."

I buy the red peppers by the case in the fall and do them directly on the bbq, cool a bit and bag them as is for the freezer.(About 4 to a bag) When I need them, defrost a bit and the blackened skin slips off so easily.Deseed and cut in desired size. It is important to completely char the outside of the peppers.
