Red Bell Pepper & Orange Bell Pepper Substitutes

I used red bell pepper and orange bell pepper in this roasted bell peppers recipe, because that is what I had at the time!

Also, the red bell peppers and orange bell peppers are very coloful peppers that make very colorful vegetable side dish.

So if you want a very colorful vegetable side dish for your dinner, red bell peppers and orange bell peppers make great choices!

If you want to use yellow bellow pepper and substitute red or orange bell pepper with yellow colored pepper, you can do that.

If you have the tri color mixed bell peppers that contains one red pepper, one orange and one yellow bell pepper, you can use all three bell peppers as well, though you will need to slightly increase the amount of seasonings accordingly, to suit for three bell peppers.

In fact, I had this tri color bell pepper package and I had already used the yellow pepper, so I decided to use the remaining orange and red bell peppers in this recipe.

In brief, you can use any of the red, yellow or orange bell peppers from the tri color mixed bell peppers and you may use all three bell peppers if you want to!

Just make sure to adjust the seasonings accordingly and also make sure to lay them in a single layer in the baking sheet, so they will get roasted evenly.

If you crowd the pan and place the slices on top of one another, they may not get roasted evenly, so just make sure to use a large baking sheet and lay them in a single layer even when you use three peppers!

If you have a green bell pepper, you may substitute any of the other peppers with green bell pepper too.

How to slice bell peppers for roasting?

It is best to slice the bell peppers are long slices or strips for roasting. I just roughly sliced them in long slices as medium sized long strips, after removing the seeds.

If you want more uniformily sliced peppers, you can do that, but roughly slicing the peppers in long slices works well too!

I didn’t make the slices too thin, so if you slice them very thin, they may get roasted even more faster.

I have also just sliced a few remaining pieces roughly into squares, which is also fine.

How long to roast slices of red and orange bell peppers?

To get the flavor out of the red and orange bell pepper slices, you need to roast them for about 18 to 20 minutes in an oven preheated to 450 degree Fahrenheit.

The pepper slices or strips need to be roasted well so there are brown spots on the skin, and it is at this stage that the roasted bell pepper slices tastes the best!

If the bell pepper slices have not formed the brown spots on the skin, I recommend roasting the peppers for another couple minutes more until they have got that brown spots which means they are well roasted!
