Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, about 400°F (200°C).
Start by washing the green bell peppers thoroughly under cold running water. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towel.
Cut the green peppers in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes.
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Brush the marinade generously over the cut sides of the green peppers.
Place the green peppers on the hot grill, cut side down, and close the lid.
Grill the peppers for about 6 to 7 minutes, then flip them over.
Continue grilling for another 6 to 7 minutes or until they are tender and have developed grill marks.
Once done, remove the peppers from the grill and drizzle them with lemon juice for added freshness and flavor.
Serve the grilled green peppers warm as a side dish or light main course.
