    How do I prevent red peppers from peeling when I fry them?
    Community Answer
    It is almost impossible because the heat of the frying oil makes the pepper skin shrink and come off. Try roasting whole peppers under the broiler until they are very charred, then place them in a tightly sealed paper bag for 10 to 15 minutes. When cool, peel off all that skin, then seed and chop. Use it in your recipes.
