What are different ways to roast Bell Peppers?
I was wondering if anyone had any tips for roasting bell peppers so that they get a nice blacked skin. I live in an apartment, and if I were to put the peppers directly on the burners, it would not go over too well. (I did start to do that, but when it started to heat, the pepper started to stick to the burner.) I tried to use my George Foreman grill, but wasn't able to get the char on the skin that I was looking for in order to take the skin off. (Note: the flavor did turn out well for what I was making, but I know it would be even better if they were charred.)
Thank you for your suggestions.

Roasting them under the broiler creates a nice even color and flavor.

Should you peel peppers before roasting?
Roasting the peppers not only deepens the flavor, but it allows you to blister and remove the thick skin. Thin skinned peppers don't need to be peeled, but it does add a nice smoky flavor. Roasted and peeled chile peppers can be used right away in your favorite recipes or frozen for later.How do you roast peppers without getting soggy?

Peppers. Peppers are a tricky bunch, with their ability to bounce back depending on the type of pepper and the thickness of the skin.

Assuming by your wording, you don't have a bbq on a balcony. Another alternative to the broiler, is a blow torch to get the nice charing. :-)

I'm no expert, but I think you were on the right track. Just wait some time for the bell peppers to come loose from the burners.
Good luck
