Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 red bell peppers
- 2 yellow bell peppers
- 2 orange bell peppers
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 2 cloves, minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 10 fresh basil leaves
Instructions
Begin by washing the bell peppers thoroughly under running water. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Cut the bell peppers in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and stems. Cut each half into thick slices, about 1 inch wide.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, dried oregano, sea salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Add the bell pepper slices to the marinade and toss them until they are evenly coated. Let the peppers marinate for at least 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Ensure the grill grates are clean and lightly oil them to prevent sticking.
Place the marinated bell pepper slices on the grill, skin side down. Grill them for about 5 minutes on each side, or until they are tender and have nice grill marks.
Remove the grilled bell peppers from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter.
Garnish the grilled peppers with fresh basil leaves before serving.
Serve the Paleo Grilled Bell Peppers warm as a delicious side dish or as part of a main meal.
