Roasted Red Pepper Sandwiches

 There is nothing better than freshly made roasted red peppers.  Even better, are roasted red peppers in a sandwich.  But when you need a super quick meal, it's always nice to have a jar of roasted red peppers on hand to make a super quick and easy and oh so tasty meal.  Try it, you'll like it.  No, you'll probably love it!

Roasted Red Pepper Sandwiches
Garlic powder
Daiya Provolone Style Slices
Roasted Red Peppers, if canned, drained for about 5 minutes
Flatbread or your favorite bread

 

Lay out your flat bread. Layer with roasted red peppers. Sprinkle with a little garlic powder.

 

Layer the top with Daiya Slices. Add another flatbread on top.

 

On a grill or pannini maker, cook for about 1 to 2 minutes.  Let cool slightly and slice into pieces.

 Roll 'em and eat 'em.  The end. 

Of course it's only the end until you make another, and another...you get the point. Yum!

 

 

Roasted Red Pepper Pasta

Tonight I was craving Red Peppers like crazy. I normally always give into my urges if I have time to create something.  Well I just happened to buy a jar of roasted red peppers a couple of days ago and voila, a recipe was born.  And I liked it.

 

 

Roasted Red Pepper Pasta

 

1 jar ( 10oz ) oil marinated red peppers with garlic (add a tsp garlic if it's not in the jar already)

1/3 cup roasted cashews

1/2 tsp nutritional yeast

1/8 tsp balsamic vinegar

1/4-1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (depending on if you like a little more heat or not, but 1/4 tsp is not hot)

pinch salt

1 box or bag of cooked noodles

 

In a food processor, process all ingredients, except pasta.  When the chunks of cashews are almost unnoticeable, it is ready.  Spoon over hot cooked pasta and Eat. Yummy! This fresh, vibrant and flavorful pasta is quite a change from your regular tomato based spaghetti.  Try this cold too for a nice summer salad adding in a few chunks of fresh diced red peppers and your favorite cold vegetables.
