Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large red bell peppers
- 2 large green bell peppers
- 1 large yellow bell pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon parsley
Instructions
Wash the red, green, and yellow bell peppers thoroughly under running water. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Cut off the tops of the bell peppers and remove the seeds. Slice the peppers into thin strips of approximately 1/2 inch wide.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.
Add the sliced bell peppers to the skillet. Stir to coat the peppers evenly with the olive oil and garlic.
Sprinkle in the dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine the seasonings with the peppers.
Cook the peppers for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender yet slightly crisp. Adjust the heat as needed to prevent scorching.
Once cooked, transfer the sautéed peppers to a serving dish and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for a festive touch.
Serve warm as a side dish alongside your Christmas meal, or enjoy them on top of toasts or mixed into pasta for a versatile option!
