I have some frozen pepper strips from the school lunches. They were half defrosted by the time I got them into my freezer, and I suspect they're really stuck together in a frozen blob. I don't imagine I can stir fry or do anything else with them that I would want them to present as individual pepper strips. Any ideas? I hate to waste them but they're taking up valuable freezer space!

Rinse them quickly under cold water to remove the ice that formed from defrost/refreeze. Pat dry and toss with oil, garlic and salt on a cookie sheet. Roast at 450 until edges start to brown. Toss with warm pasta and serve.

Pepper salad
Roast in the oven with olive oil and spices.
After roasting add some balsamic vinegar.

Defrost them and then add to stir fry -- they will look like reg pepper strips. They're also great cooked with rice. Or you can add to a pan of chicken and bake together. Also good mixed in with ziti and baked together.

Roast and blend into red pepper dip.

I cook orzo, add the pepper strips with salt and pepper.
(Optional: Add sugar, onion soup mix, oil and bake 15 minutes.)
