Slice the red and yellow bell peppers into thin strips.
Peel and mince the garlic cloves.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds, stirring constantly to avoid burning.

Add the sliced bell peppers to the skillet and continue to sauté for another 4-5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Season with salt, ground black pepper, and red chili flakes (if using). Stir well to combine.
Remove the skillet from heat and drizzle the lemon juice over the vegetables.
