Roasted bell peppers are best stored in the refrigerator to maintain their quality. Place the peppers in an airtight container or a resealable plastic bag, removing as much air as possible. They will typically last for 3-5 days in the refrigerator. For longer storage, roasted bell peppers can be frozen. Spread the peppers in a single layer on a baking sheet, freeze until solid, and then transfer to a freezer bag or container. Frozen peppers can last for up to 8-12 months. Note that frozen peppers may have a slightly softer texture when thawed, so they are best used in cooked dishes.
