    This recipe is just ok. If you set your goal to be a side to a meal, cut rosemary in half and ease up on cayenne it's ok. You might look at options for roasting the red pepper too. Broiling or grilling would be better.

      Love the flavor, but the heat was way to much for me and my family. I will definitely cut the spices in half next time

        Good flavor! Love the heat level. Only problem is I wanted 2 servings-wanted serving size to be bigger.
