Fried peppers are a flavorful dish often found in Mediterranean, Latin American, and European cuisines. Made from sautéed or pan-fried bell peppers or chili peppers, they're typically cooked in olive oil with optional seasonings like garlic, salt, or herbs. This dish is rich in vitamins A and C, providing antioxidants that support immunity and skin health. Peppers also offer dietary fiber, aiding digestion, and contain capsaicin in spicy varieties, which may promote metabolism and reduce inflammation. Olive oil adds heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, though frying can increase calorie content. To keep it balanced, pair with lean protein or whole grains. Fried peppers are versatile, acting as a side dish, topping, or part of main courses, making them a vibrant addition to meals while delivering essential nutrients and bold flavors.
