I would like to share my recipe for roasting peppers with you here. Preparing small green peppers is what this article is all about.
Most of us are familiar with the small peppers from Spain. Served as tapas, the little vegetables are a feast for the eyes and taste delicious.
Maybe you’re looking for a suitable side dish or you stumble across the small vegetables at your supermarket. Then you’ve come to the right place.You can serve these peppers quickly and inexpensively.
In addition to the Spanish original, you will also find a table with more than 12 variations of the pod preparation below the cooking instructions. Boredom was yesterday, today you cook with Thomas 🙂
Cooking success is guaranteed: check the photos and step-by-step instructions. I have also made a video for you. I wish you good luck and bon appétit!

1. Preparing roast peppers the tips from the cooking pro
In advance and if you are shopping, here are some tips:
- Buy intact and crispy fresh small peppers as much as possible.
- Almost all supermarkets in Germany sell this variety.
- Pay attention to the label on the packaging, as it is possible to confuse them with chilli peppers!
- Wash the peppers thoroughly and dry them.
- You need olive oil, salt, optional pepper and sugar.
- I use a special salt that gives the whole thing an absolute kick!
Be careful when shopping! There are also small green and very hot (chilli) pods.
Tip from chef Thomas Sixt
Please use fleur de sel for this dish. It’s delicious and I’ve seen a Spanish star chef do it!

4. Preparation in the oven
You can also cook the pods in the oven. My tips for this:
- Please do not mix with other vegetables.
- Adjust the cooking point well and stay with the oven.
- Marinate the pods in a bowl with oil and salt.
- Place on a tray with baking paper.
- The pods must not be on top of each other.
- Preheat the grill or hot-air grill to a temperature of 220°C or more.
- Turn the pods at least once.
I prefer to fry in a pan or wok, so I can taste the pods and take them out of the pan at the right moment!
