1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (approximately 400°F/200°C) or set an oven broiler to high if grilling is not an option.
2. Wash and dry the bell peppers. Lightly brush them with 1 tablespoon of olive oil to prevent sticking.
3. Place the whole bell peppers on the grill grates or a baking sheet if using the broiler. Cook for 10-15 minutes, turning every 2-3 minutes to ensure all sides are evenly charred. The skin should be blistered and slightly blackened.
4. Once the peppers are cooked, transfer them to a bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap or a plate. Let them rest for 5-10 minutes to steam, making it easier to peel the skins.
5. Carefully peel off the charred skin from the peppers using your fingers or a paper towel. Remove the stem, seeds, and membranes before slicing the peppers into strips.
6. In a large bowl, mix the sliced peppers with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to combine.
7. If desired, garnish with freshly chopped parsley and drizzle with balsamic vinegar for added flavor.
8. Serve warm or at room temperature as a side dish, on sandwiches, or as a topping for salads.
