Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large green bell peppers
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
Instructions
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, about 400°F (200°C).
Rinse the green bell peppers under running water and pat them dry with a paper towel.
Cut the peppers in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and ribs. Slice each half into thirds or quarters for smaller pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, lime juice, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Add the sliced green peppers to the bowl and toss them well to ensure they are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
Place the green peppers on the preheated grill, skin side down. Grill for about 6-8 minutes, then turn them over and grill the opposite side for another 6-7 minutes until they are tender and show grill marks.
Remove the peppers from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter.
Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro before serving. Enjoy warm as a delightful addition to your vegan meal.
