Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole green bell peppers
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (approximately 400°F or 200°C).
Wash and dry the green bell peppers thoroughly. Cut them in half lengthwise, removing the stem, seeds, and membranes.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, sea salt, ground black pepper, garlic powder, and dried oregano.
Brush the insides of each green pepper half with the seasoned olive oil mixture, ensuring an even coating.
Place the peppers cut side down on the preheated grill. Close the lid and grill for about 6-8 minutes, until the peppers exhibit grill marks.
Flip the peppers and continue grilling for another 6-7 minutes until they are tender and the skin is charred.
Once done, remove the peppers from the grill and drizzle them with fresh lemon juice.
Optionally, sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and flavor.
Serve immediately while warm, pairing with your favorite Paleo-friendly main dish or enjoy as a standalone side.
