Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 500 degrees.

Remove the pan from the oven and immediately cover it tightly with aluminum foil. Set aside for 30 minutes, or until the peppers are cool enough to handle.
• Remove the stem from each pepper and cut them in quarters. Remove the peels and seeds and place the peppers in a bowl along with any juices that have collected. Discard the stems, peels, and seeds. Pour the oil over the peppers. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.

• Remove skin and seeds. Cut peppers into strips. Add olive oil, capers, salt, pepper and garlic powder. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Taste best at room temperature. Serve with Italian bread, focaccia or crackers.
