Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole Green bell peppers
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, approximately 400°F (200°C).
Wash the green bell peppers thoroughly under running water and pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Cut the green peppers into quarters. Remove the seeds and membranes for a clean and even grill.
In a small mixing bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and oregano. Stir well to create a marinade.
Brush the marinade generously over the inside and outside of each quartered pepper.
Place the marinated peppers on the preheated grill, skin side down. Close the grill lid.
Grill the peppers for about 5-7 minutes on one side, or until the skin starts to char and blister slightly.
Turn the peppers over using tongs and grill for another 5-7 minutes until they are tender and have nice grill marks.
Remove the peppers from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter.
Drizzle the freshly grilled peppers with lemon juice for a touch of brightness.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, for added flavor and color.
Serve the grilled green peppers as a low-carb side dish or enjoy them as a healthy snack.
