Ingredients
- 1 medium Red bell pepper
- 1 medium Yellow bell pepper
- 1 medium Green bell pepper
- 1 medium Orange bell pepper
- 1 medium Red onion
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley

Instructions
Wash all the bell peppers and pat them dry with a paper towel.
Slice the red, yellow, green, and orange bell peppers into thin strips, discarding the seeds and cores.
Peel and thinly slice the red onion.
Mince the garlic cloves finely.
Heat the olive oil in a large sauté pan or skillet over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic to the pan and sauté for about 30 seconds, stirring constantly to avoid burning.
Add the sliced red onion to the pan and cook for 2–3 minutes until slightly softened.
Add the sliced bell peppers to the pan and stir well to evenly coat them in oil and mix with the onion and garlic.
Sprinkle the salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika over the vegetables, stirring to combine.
Cook the mixture for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the peppers are tender but still slightly crisp.
Remove the pan from the heat and drizzle with fresh lemon juice.
Garnish with the chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Serve the Pepper Medley warm as a side dish or over a bed of rice or quinoa for a complete meal.
