Ingredients

• 4 large Bell peppers (assorted colors)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 10 leaves Fresh basil leaves (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a gas grill, set the burners to medium-high and close the lid to let it heat up.

Step 2

While the grill is heating, wash and dry the bell peppers.

Step 3

Cut each bell pepper in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and ribs.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.

Step 5

Brush the interior and exterior of each bell pepper half with the seasoned olive oil mixture.

Step 6

Place the bell pepper halves cut-side down on the hot grill grates. Grill for about 5-7 minutes, until they have nice grill marks and are tender.

Step 7

Flip the bell pepper halves over and grill for another 5-7 minutes or until the peppers are cooked to your desired level of tenderness.

Step 8

Once the bell peppers are done, remove them from the grill and transfer them to a serving plate.

Step 9

Optionally, roughly tear the fresh basil leaves and sprinkle them over the grilled bell peppers for added flavor and aroma.

Step 10

Serve warm as a low-carb side dish or topping for grilled meats.
