This vibrant roasted pepper and nectarine salad is a sophisticated vegan dish that celebrates the contrast between savoury heat and stone fruit sweetness. By slow-roasting mild Anaheim chillies and green peppers until they are tender and charred, you create a rich, smoky base that pairs beautifully with the acidity of fresh lemon and the aromatic notes of cumin and coriander.

How to make Roasted Peppers with Nectarines
Preheat oven to 204°C. Toss chillies, peppers, oil, 1/2 teaspoons salt, sugar, coriander, and cumin in a large bowl. Season to taste with black pepper and toss to coat evenly. Arrange peppers in a single layer in a large roasting pan, overlapping as needed.
