- 2 teaspoons Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, around 375°F to 400°F (190°C to 200°C).
Wash the green bell peppers thoroughly and pat them dry with paper towels.
Cut the peppers in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes.
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, salt, ground black pepper, and dried oregano. Mix well to create a marinade.
Brush the cut sides of the green peppers with the olive oil marinade, ensuring they are well coated.
Place the peppers, cut side down, on the preheated grill grates.
Grill the peppers for about 8 minutes, then flip them over and continue grilling for another 5 to 7 minutes until they are tender and grill marks appear.
Remove the peppers from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter.
Drizzle the grilled peppers with lemon juice and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
Serve immediately as a side dish or use them as a topping for sandwiches or salads.
