Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole bell peppers (red, yellow, orange, or green)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 whole garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Rinse the bell peppers and pat them dry. Cut each pepper in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and stems. Cut each half into thick strips, about 1-inch wide.
Place the pepper strips on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Drizzle the mixture evenly over the bell peppers.
Toss the peppers gently to ensure they are evenly coated with the oil and seasoning mixture.
Spread the peppers out in a single layer on the baking sheet to ensure even roasting.
Roast the peppers in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until they are slightly charred around the edges and tender.
Remove the peppers from the oven and transfer them to a serving dish. If desired, drizzle with balsamic vinegar for added flavor.
Sprinkle the roasted peppers with freshly chopped parsley just before serving.
Serve warm or at room temperature as a side dish or part of a larger meal. Enjoy!
