Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large Bell peppers (any color)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 large Garlic cloves
- 0.5 teaspoons Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Wash and dry the bell peppers. Cut each pepper in half, remove the seeds and core, and slice them into thin strips.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute, stirring frequently until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Add the sliced bell peppers to the skillet. Stir well to coat them in the olive oil and garlic.
Sprinkle onion powder, dried oregano, salt, and ground black pepper over the peppers. Stir to evenly distribute the seasonings.
Continue to sauté the bell peppers for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and have a slight char.
While the peppers are cooking, chop the fresh parsley.
Once cooked, remove the skillet from the heat and mix in the chopped parsley and lemon juice, stirring well to combine all the flavors.
Serve warm as a side dish with your favorite low-carb entree.
