Instructions
Cut a lengthwise slit in each pepper; remove seeds and membranes.

Place in an ungreased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish.
Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 20 minutes for spicy flavor, 30 minutes for medium and 40 minutes for mild.
Recommended wine: Cava, Shiraz, Grenache
Cava, Shiraz, and Grenache are great choices for Chili. These juicy reds don't have too much tannin (important for spicy foods), but a sparkling wine like cava can tame the heat even better. The Avinyo Cava Reserva with a 4.8 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 17 dollars per bottle.
Avinyo Cava Reserva
Bright white fruits combine with toast notes. On the palate the wine is fresh and vibrant.
