Instructions
- Before you begin, wash your hands, surfaces, utensils, tops of cans, and produce.
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees, and line rimmed baking sheet aluminum foil.
- Place peppers on the baking sheet. Toss with oil, cumin, and garlic powder. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste.
- Arrange the seasoned peppers on the baking sheet in a single layer, peel side down. Bake until peppers are crisp-tender, about 10 minutes.

- After 10 minutes is over, take peppers out of oven and drizzle sour cream mixture over peppers.
- Top with chopped avocado, salsa, and pickled jalapeños, if using.
