Cubanelle Pepper

Store fresh peppers in a plastic bag in the refrigerator. For longer storage, they can be frozen after blanching.

Cubanelles are excellent for frying, stuffing, or adding to stews and sauces.

Their mild sweetness makes them a good choice when you want pepper flavor without too much heat.

Look for peppers that are firm, glossy, and free of blemishes or soft spots.

Mistaking them for hot peppers – cubanelles are generally mild, though occasional specimens might have a hint of heat.

Overcooking them – this can make them mushy and lose their pleasant crispness.
