Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Add the sliced bell peppers to the skillet. Stir well to coat them in the olive oil and garlic.

Sprinkle onion powder, dried oregano, salt, and ground black pepper over the peppers. Stir to evenly distribute the seasonings.

Step 7

Continue to sauté the bell peppers for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and have a slight char.

Step 8

While the peppers are cooking, chop the fresh parsley.

Step 9

Once cooked, remove the skillet from the heat and mix in the chopped parsley and lemon juice, stirring well to combine all the flavors.

Step 10

Serve warm as a side dish with your favorite low-carb entree.
