- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Directions
Step 1
Wash the bell peppers thoroughly. Remove the stem, seeds, and inner membranes. Slice the peppers into thin strips, about 1/4 inch wide.
Step 2
Peel and mince the garlic cloves. Set aside.

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 4
Add the minced garlic to the heated olive oil and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Step 5
Add the sliced bell peppers to the skillet. Stir to coat the peppers in the garlic-infused oil.
Step 6
Season the peppers with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Continue to sauté for about 5 to 7 minutes until the peppers are tender but still crisp.
Step 7
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the freshly chopped basil.
