Roasted Sweet Pepper Sauce

This is a good-for-you basic sauce that can be tweaked to complement just about any dish you want to make. It can be made in large batches and frozen in small portions to be pulled out as needed for something delicious and healthy in a pinch.

This is a versatile sauce that can be used alone as a cold dip for veggies or used as an ingredient for a vinaigrette or aioli. It could be turned into a pasta sauce and used as a marinade.
