Which is one reason I've never tried blanching. <g>
Roasting them does indeed add a special flavor.

Huh. Had not considered using the toaster/convection oven for this.

I don't have gas burners available so that might work well.

I've been using that toaster oven more and more and a fry pan less and
less. It's convenient, easy and effective.
