Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole Bell peppers (red, yellow, or orange)
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and halved
- 0.5 cup Feta cheese, crumbled
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Wash the bell peppers and cut them in half lengthwise. Remove the seeds and stems.
Brush the cut sides of the peppers with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and sprinkle with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Place the peppers on the grill, cut side down. Cook for 4-5 minutes, until they develop char marks.
Flip the peppers and grill for another 4-5 minutes until softened but not mushy.
Remove the peppers from the grill and let them cool slightly while you prepare the topping.
In a small bowl, mix the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil with the minced garlic, Kalamata olives, crumbled feta, parsley, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt and black pepper. Stir until combined.
Arrange the grilled peppers on a serving platter, cut side up.
Spoon the olive and feta mixture evenly into each pepper half.
Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy!
