I think the red peppers are much sweeter.

Don't know this to be fact, but I read somewhere that all bell peppers start out green and if left unharvested, eventually turn yellow, then red. Yellow are slightly sweeter than green, and Red are slightly sweeter than yellow.

I picked my first bell out of the garden today. We are roasting it with other veggies on the grill.
My mom use to take them and roast them on her gas oven until they turned black. Then run them under water to rub off the black. She would then clean and slice them into wedges and pour oil on them. She would serve them like that on the table. We love them that way. But now days we do the same thing on the grill because I have a smooth - top oven.

My peppers are the best I have ever had. As I said before, last night I picked 30 (bells). I just came in from picking tonight. I picked 91 peppers tonight (47 bells, 44 sweet banana peppers).
My jalapenos are about a week from bring ready (there are a couple big enough to pick), but they are loaded with blossoms and small peppers.

Depends on the variety. All peppers will start out as green but will then turn a ripe color (yellow, red, brown, orange). When the pepper is completely ripe, it will be a bright color. The riper, the sweeter (until it begins to spoil). That's true of about all fruit or vegetables.

Roast them on the grill, gas stove or whatever. When they turn black place them in a ziplock bag and let the steam until they cool. Easy to remove the skin and very sweet.

Don't confuse yourself to believe the different colored peppers in the store are the same pepper just different stage of ripeness. They are different varieties. There is truth in green peppers changing color to red but it isn't the red you are buying in the store.

There is a subtle difference in the flavor - but not enough to matter.
I use a little bit of them all to add a festive color to salads and food.
One favorite thing i make camping is to make foil packets of polish sausage, onion wedges, different colors of peppers and mushroom buttons and put it over the coals to slow cook. You don't want the foil packets so full they can't cook through without burning the outside of the food.
The flavors blend and it's soooo good... ok, now i am ready for the fall so we can have the campfire food again, lol.
