Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 whole green bell peppers
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Wash the green bell peppers thoroughly under running water. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
Cut each pepper in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes.
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, salt, ground black pepper, garlic powder, dried oregano, and lemon juice until well blended.
Brush the oil and spice mixture evenly over the outside and inside of the pepper halves.
Place the peppers skin-side down on the grill. Close the lid and grill for about 8-10 minutes.
Flip the peppers to grill the other sides, and continue cooking for another 5 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and slightly charred.
Remove the peppers from the grill and let them rest for a minute. Arrange the peppers on a serving plate and serve warm.
