Banana Peppers

Store fresh banana peppers in the crisper drawer of your refrigerator. For longer storage, they can be pickled or frozen.

For a milder flavor, remove the seeds and membranes before using.

Slice them thinly for even distribution in dishes.

Pickled banana peppers add a zesty kick to sandwiches and burgers.

Add chopped banana peppers to egg dishes like omelets or scrambles.

Mistaking them for hotter peppers: Banana peppers have a very mild heat.

Overcooking: They can become mushy if cooked for too long; aim for a crisp-tender texture.
