Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large bell peppers
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
Start by washing the bell peppers thoroughly under running water. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Using a sharp knife, remove the stems, seeds, and membranes from the bell peppers. Cut each pepper into quarters or strips, depending on your preference.
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, black pepper, dried oregano, and lemon juice. Whisk together until well-blended.
Add the sliced bell peppers to the bowl and toss them until they are evenly coated with the olive oil mixture.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Place the bell peppers on the grill, skin-side down. Grill for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until they are tender and have visible grill marks.
Remove the bell peppers from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter.
Serve immediately while warm. They can also be served at room temperature.
