Are roasted peppers spicy?
Roasted peppers are spicy only if the pepper was a spicy or hot pepper before it was roasted. By roasting the pepper, the pepper is cooking, the skin is blistering and will be removed and the natural sugars in the pepper are brought out with the heat. By adding heat to peppers is does not add spice.
