Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 whole red capsicums (bell peppers)
- 3 whole yellow capsicums (bell peppers)
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Wash the red and yellow capsicums under running water and pat dry with a kitchen towel.
Cut each capsicum in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes.
Slice the halves into 1-inch wide strips.
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, ground black pepper, garlic powder, dried oregano, and dried basil.
Add the sliced capsicums to the bowl and toss well until they are evenly coated with the oil and seasoning mixture.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy clean-up.
Spread the seasoned capsicum strips on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer to ensure even roasting.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for about 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the capsicums are tender and slightly charred on the edges.
Remove the capsicums from the oven and allow them to cool slightly.
Transfer the roasted capsicums to a serving bowl and sprinkle with lemon juice before serving.
Enjoy the low sodium oven-roasted capsicum as a side dish or incorporate it into your favorite salads or sandwiches.
