Dealing with the evil eye has three approaches:

Preventative
Extractive
Cleansing

The peppers are extractive

The peppers draw out the evil eye as they encircle the person. A similar method is used with eggs in limpias from Latin America -
Preventative measures are about warding off the evil eye:

blue eye beads and charms
Prayers
Hand gestures
Reverse compliments
Marking the body with kohl etc
Cleansing measures use incense, baths, oils etc to purify a person or place

Most of these folk remedies likely fall into more than one approach, note how the peppers are burned after they are encircled around the victim
