Peppers baked in a fragrant marinade are a refined dish that combines the sweetness of roasted peppers with the richness of aromatic spices. Baking gives the peppers softness and a smoky hue, while the marinade of olive oil, red wine vinegar, capers, garlic, and fresh herbs fills them with vibrant Mediterranean flavors. The origins of this dish can be found in traditional Italian cuisine, where roasted vegetables are often marinated to enhance flavor depth. The refreshing aroma of mint and parsley makes it an ideal complement to meat dishes, cheeses, or simply crispy bread. It works well as an appetizer or light main course, offering a perfect balance of acidity, sweetness, and spicy notes.
