To roast peppers, all you really need to do is arrange them on a baking sheet and place the baking sheet on the highest rack in your oven. Broil, turning the peppers to ensure even cooking, until blisters appear on the skin of the pepper. Then take them out of the oven and put them in a plastic bag, or wrap them in plastic wrap, for about 20 minutes so that the skins will soften in the steam, making them easier to peel. Allow the peppers to cool, and then gently peel the skin off of each pepper, cut the peppers in half, cut out the stem and scoop out the seeds and ribs. The peppers are then ready to use in your favorite recipe.
Roasted peppers are also available in most grocery stores, canned or in jars.
