- Preheat grill on high. Place the capsicum, skin-side up, on an oven tray and place under preheated grill. Cook for 5 minutes or until capsicum is charred and blistered. Transfer to a bowl and cover with plastic wrap and set aside for 10 minutes (this will help lift the skin). Peel and cut into thick strips.
