Notes:

How to Roast Peppers

Arrange whole bell peppers or large chile peppers on foil-lined baking sheet. Place under broiler 2 to 4 inches from heat source. Use kitchen tongs to turn peppers as skin becomes blackened. Continue rotating peppers until skin is entirely blackened. Using tongs, put blackened peppers in a paper bag; close bag. Keep peppers in bag until cooled completely, about 20 minutes. Remove peppers from bag. Peel away blackened skin using a small knife; discard skin. Cut peppers in half lengthwise; discard seeds, using knife edge. Then, use roasted peppers as directed in recipe.

Substitute

Prepare as directed, using KRAFT LIGHT DONE RIGHT! House Italian Reduced Fat Dressing.

Nutrition Bonus

Here's a succulent appetizer that is rich in vitamin C from the peppers. And as a bonus, the cheese provides calcium.
