Roasted bell peppers have a way of transforming into something almost silky and deeply sweet once they come out of a hot oven, and this salad leans into every bit of that magic. The charring and steaming step is the real secret — it loosens the skins and concentrates the natural sugars in the flesh, giving you strips that are tender, jammy, and full of flavor. A simple dressing of olive oil, apple cider vinegar, and a touch of honey ties everything together without relying on any of the common trigger ingredients that make so many dressings off-limits. Capers bring a briny pop that keeps the dish from feeling too sweet, while fresh parsley and torn basil add brightness and color. For anyone managing eosinophilic esophagitis, finding recipes that are genuinely exciting — not just safe — can feel like a challenge, and this one clears that bar easily. Every ingredient here is straightforward and whole, so there's no guesswork about what's hiding in a sauce or a seasoning blend. Serve it warm from the bowl or let it sit at room temperature and watch it disappear.

Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C). Arrange the bell pepper halves cut-side down on a baking sheet and brush with 1 tbsp of the olive oil.
Roast for 20–25 minutes, until the skins are deeply charred and blistered in spots and the flesh is completely tender when pressed.
