Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large Bell peppers
- 2 medium Red onions
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, around 400°F (200°C).
While the grill is heating, prepare the vegetables. Cut the bell peppers in half, remove the seeds and stems, and slice them into 1-inch wide strips. Peel the red onions and slice them into 1/2-inch thick rounds.
In a large bowl, combine the bell pepper strips and onion slices. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Toss until the vegetables are evenly coated.
Place the vegetables in a grill basket or directly on the grill grates. Spread them out in a single layer to ensure even cooking.
Grill the vegetables for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are tender and have charred edges to your liking.
Once grilled, remove the vegetables from the grill and transfer them to a serving bowl.
Drizzle the grilled peppers and onions with lemon juice and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve warm as a side dish to your favorite grilled proteins or as a topping for sandwiches and salads.
