Sweet Bell Peppers

• Here's a trick for bringing out the rich sweetness in bell peppers. Blacken the bell peppers under the broiler or on the grill. After broiling or grilling, peel off the bell pepper skins with a paring knife and use the pepper in sandwiches, pasta sauces, or as an accompaniment to chicken or fish. Whether the bell peppers are red, green or yellow, bell peppers are a good source of vitamin C -- and a great source of fat-free culinary excitement. Sliced fresh bell peppers add crunch and color to salads.
