Brush the olive oil mixture evenly over the cut sides of the green peppers.
Place the peppers cut side down on the preheated grill.
Grill the peppers for 5-7 minutes on one side until they develop grill marks and start to soften.
Flip the peppers over and grill for another 5-7 minutes until they are tender and slightly charred.
Remove the peppers from the grill and place them on a serving plate.
Drizzle the grilled peppers with lemon juice and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley.
Serve warm as a side dish or as an accompaniment to your favorite main course.
