  • 12 oz. roasted red pepper drained well

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven or toaster oven to 350F/175C.
  2. Drain the artichoke hearts well in a colander.
  3. Toss the drained artichoke hearts with 1 T of olive oil, salt, and fresh ground pepper.
  4. Roast the artichoke hearts for 20 minutes. This adds a lot of flavor, so I don't recommend skipping this step.
  5. While the artichokes are roasting, drain the jar of roasted red pepper well in a colander placed in the sink, then dice the peppers.
