Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Bell peppers (assorted colors)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 10 leaves Fresh basil leaves (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a gas grill, set the burners to medium-high and close the lid to let it heat up.
While the grill is heating, wash and dry the bell peppers.
Cut each bell pepper in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and ribs.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Brush the interior and exterior of each bell pepper half with the seasoned olive oil mixture.
Place the bell pepper halves cut-side down on the hot grill grates. Grill for about 5-7 minutes, until they have nice grill marks and are tender.
Flip the bell pepper halves over and grill for another 5-7 minutes or until the peppers are cooked to your desired level of tenderness.
Once the bell peppers are done, remove them from the grill and transfer them to a serving plate.
Optionally, roughly tear the fresh basil leaves and sprinkle them over the grilled bell peppers for added flavor and aroma.
Serve warm as a low-carb side dish or topping for grilled meats.
