Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large Red bell pepper
- 1 large Yellow bell pepper
- 1 large Green bell pepper
- 2 medium Garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Wash all bell peppers thoroughly and pat them dry with a paper towel.
Cut the bell peppers in half, remove the stems, seeds, and membranes, and slice them into thin strips about 1/4 inch wide.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, stirring constantly to avoid burning.
Add the sliced bell peppers to the skillet and stir to coat them evenly in the garlic-infused oil.
Sprinkle the thyme, salt, and black pepper over the peppers, and continue stirring for 7-8 minutes until the peppers are tender but still slightly crisp.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Remove the skillet from heat.
Serve immediately as a vibrant side dish or use as a topping for grains, proteins, or salads. Enjoy!
