Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, approximately 400Β°F (200Β°C).
Wash the green bell peppers thoroughly under cold water. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Cut the peppers in half from the stem to the bottom. Remove the seeds and the white inner membranes.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Brush the pepper halves generously with the olive oil mixture on both sides.
Place the peppers directly on the grill grates, cut side down. Grill for about 6-7 minutes, until grill marks appear and the peppers are slightly charred.
Flip the peppers over and continue grilling for another 6-8 minutes until the peppers are tender but still hold their shape.
Remove the peppers from the grill and place them on a serving platter.
Finely chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the grilled peppers as a garnish.
Serve hot as a side dish or enjoy them as a keto-friendly snack.
