Pro Tips
- Skin-side down first for the best char and sweetness.
- For roasted capsicum, cook whole until blackened all over, then steam in a sealed bowl to peel.
- Red and yellow capsicum are sweeter than green — better for BBQ.
Resting Time
Rest for 2–3 minutes after removing from the BBQ. This allows juices to redistribute for a juicier result.
