To achieve perfectly crunchy red bell peppers, the main focus should be on avoiding overcooking. Chef Petranka Atanasova advocates stir-frying, ideally for five minutes, to preserve the natural sweetness and texture of the peppers. The cooking temperature should be medium-high to prevent burning. Using oils with high smoke points, such as peanut or canola, is recommended, while butter and olive oil should be avoided. Preheating the pan and cooking in small batches are additional tips to ensure the peppers remain vibrant and flavorful, allowing room for even searing and seasoning during cooking.
