Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Green bell peppers
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Wash and dry the green bell peppers. Cut each bell pepper in half lengthwise and remove the stems, seeds, and membranes.
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and dried oregano. Mix well.
Preheat your outdoor grill or indoor grill pan over medium-high heat.
Brush the bell pepper halves with the olive oil mixture on both sides to ensure they are well coated.
Place the bell pepper halves on the preheated grill, skin side down. Grill for about 5 to 7 minutes until the skin is charred and blistered.
Flip the bell peppers and grill for another 5 to 7 minutes, until the peppers are tender but still hold their shape.
Remove the grilled peppers from the grill and place them on a serving platter.
Drizzle the grilled peppers with lemon juice and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley to garnish.
Serve warm as a side dish or incorporate into salads, sandwiches, or other dishes.
