How to Make Roasted Peppers in Oil with Feta: Easy Appetizer 2026

Learn how to make roasted peppers in oil with feta; a simple recipe you can always have on hand for any occasion. This easy, quick, and tasty appetizer is perfect for evenings with friends. Rinse the feta under running water to remove excess salt, pat it dry carefully with paper towels, and cut it into small rectangles. Wash the peppers, dry them, brush them with a little oil, place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and roast them under the oven grill. Transfer the peppers to a large bowl, cover them with a lid, let them cool, then remove the skin, seeds, and membranes, and cut the flesh into strips about 2 centimeters wide. Carefully wash a handful of parsley and mint leaves, lay the pepper strips on a cutting board, and top each with a piece of feta and an aromatic herb leaf. Roll them up to create small bundles and fill two 300 ml jars (washed and sterilized in the oven at 130°C for 40 minutes) with these rolls. Fill the jars with oil until it reaches a generous centimeter from the rim, and tap the jars to release any air bubbles. Finally, seal them airtight and place them in a pot covered with cold water to sterilize: 30 minutes from the start of boiling.
