Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole green bell peppers
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Wash and dry the green bell peppers. Cut them into quarters, removing the stems, seeds, and ribs.
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic cloves, dried oregano, and black pepper. Mix well to form a marinade.
Using a brush or your hands, coat each pepper quarter with the olive oil mixture on all sides.
Place the pepper quarters on the grill, skin side down. Grill them for about 6-8 minutes until the skin is charred and starts to blister.
Flip the peppers and grill for an additional 4-5 minutes until they are tender and have grill marks.
Remove the peppers from the grill and drench them with a splash of lemon juice.
Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the top of the grilled peppers for garnish.
Serve the grilled green peppers hot as a side dish or as a topping for sandwiches and salads.
