Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Wash and dry the bell peppers. Cut them in half lengthwise, remove the seeds, and slice them into thin strips.
Peel and slice the red onion into thin wedges.
In a large bowl, combine the bell pepper strips and onion wedges. Drizzle 1 teaspoon of olive oil over the vegetables and toss to coat evenly.
Add balsamic vinegar, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Toss the vegetables again to ensure they are evenly seasoned.
Spread the seasoned peppers and onions onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer to ensure even roasting.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 20-25 minutes, stirring the vegetables halfway through to promote even cooking. The vegetables should become soft and slightly caramelized.
Remove the vegetables from the oven. Optionally, garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving for a burst of color and added freshness.
Serve warm as a side dish or use as a topping for grain bowls, salads, or sandwiches.
