These yummy roasted red peppers make a brilliant, quick children’s supper (or adult side dish) served with some rice, whole wheat/brown rice pasta or a baked potato. They are deliciously sweet and as a result are often a big hit with little ones. They also work cold for picnics and lunch boxes.
Peppers are bursting with vitamin C which is a key nutrient for our immune system. They also contain valuable antioxidants such as lutein for healthy eyes, and beta carotene which is converted to vitamin A in the body for immune and skin health. Goats cheese is also often better tolerated than cow’s milk.
