Description:
The Italian Roaster Peppers, also known as Long Hot Peppers, Italian Long Peppers, or Italian Long Hots, are a tasty mild pepper variety that everyone loves to put in their cooking, and it’s especially a favorable pepper in homemade Italian cooking.
The long red chili plant will grow to 1-1/2 to 2 ft. tall, and the pods can be ready for harvest in 70 to 80 days. Growing to 6-8", you can do a lot of tasty cooking with these peppers. The Italian Roaster is a long skinny pepper that is slightly wrinkled and often curvy, ripening from green to red when they reach maturity. Their shape can look awkward and strange, but that’s what makes the Italian Long Hot pepper so special!
These long red hot peppers have a unique flavor profile as they are sweet with a mild spice, but you will never forget their smoky sweetness when charred. These are perfect to make for stuffed long hot peppers, salads, pizzas, sandwiches, grilling, or whatever your heart desires!
