Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large Red bell pepper
- 1 large Yellow bell pepper
- 1 large Green bell pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 small Red onion, thinly sliced
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Wash the bell peppers thoroughly under cold running water. Remove the stems, seeds, and membranes. Slice them into thin strips about 1/4-inch wide.
Peel the red onion and cut it into thin slices.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Add the sliced red onion to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.
Add the sliced bell peppers to the skillet and stir to combine with the onions and garlic.
Sprinkle the salt and black pepper over the vegetables. Stir well to evenly distribute the seasoning.
Sauté the bell peppers and onions for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the peppers are tender but still slightly crisp. Lower the heat if needed to prevent burning.
Once the peppers are cooked to your liking, remove the skillet from the heat.
If desired, garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving for a burst of color and flavor.
Serve warm as a side dish or use as a topping for grilled meats, sandwiches, or pasta.
