Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole bell peppers (red, yellow, or orange)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Wash and dry the bell peppers. Cut them in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes.
Brush the cut sides of the peppers with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and black pepper.
Place the peppers cut-side down on the grill grates. Grill for 5-7 minutes until they are slightly charred and softened.
Flip the peppers over so the cut side is facing up. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and grated parmesan evenly inside the pepper halves.
Close the grill lid and cook for another 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Carefully remove the peppers from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter.
Drizzle the peppers with a splash of lemon juice and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
Serve immediately as a delightful appetizer or as a side dish to complement grilled meats or salads.
