Karri, you're being condescending and it's not welcome here on this cooking app. Step 6 says to remove skins from bell peppers, not garlic. Hints are used for puzzles and games, not instructions. Keep writing comments like this and you'll be blocked.

I'm sorry. I meant to be encouraging! I have been served roasted garlic at an "authentic" Italian restaurant and it had the skin on. But at home you really can peel it, like step 6 says, as soon as it it cool enough to handle. The same with any other vegetables that you are roasting. Most cooks forget after a while, the pain they personally experienced learning to cook, and as they write their recipes they hint at this technique and that technique and then beginners run into things that the original writer never imagined. Like the girl who wanted to make a pecan pie for her mother as a surprise. When she came to the Step that says "pour in shells" she didn't know what it was talking about. You and I know that it meant "pour the filling into the pie crust or pie shells", but she could only scratch her head and guess that she was supposed to pour the EGG shells into the batter! So she rummaged through the trash can until she found all the shells. Washing them very well, the only way she could think of to get them to "pour" was to blend them into powder. So in they went. In the pie crust went the batter, into the oven went the pie. And when it came out, how surprised and happy mother was! But the greater surprise was yet to come because mother could not understand why there was "sand" in her pie! Oh! How we laugh now, but it was not funny then!
