Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large red bell peppers
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup fresh basil leaves (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Wash the red bell peppers thoroughly and pat them dry with a kitchen towel.
Slice the red peppers in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and white ribs.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Using a brush, coat the cut sides of the bell peppers with the olive oil mixture evenly.
Place the peppers on the grill, cut side down. Grill for about 6-8 minutes or until the skin begins to char and the peppers become tender.
Flip the peppers over and grill the other side for an additional 5-7 minutes, ensuring they are cooked through with nice grill marks.
Remove the peppers from the grill and let them cool slightly.
Transfer the peppers to a serving platter and garnish with fresh basil leaves.
Serve warm as a side dish or use them in salads, as a topping, or as part of your keto meal prep.
