• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Wash the red bell peppers and pat them dry with a towel.

Cut the peppers into quarters, removing the seeds and membranes.

Step 4

Peel the garlic cloves and mince them finely.

Step 5

In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 6

Place the quartered red peppers in a large bowl and pour the marinade over them.

Step 7

Toss the peppers in the marinade until they are evenly coated.

Step 8

Let the peppers sit for about 5 minutes to absorb the flavors.

Step 9

Place the marinated peppers on the preheated grill, skin-side down.

Step 10

Grill the peppers for 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the skin is blistered and slightly charred while the flesh is tender.

Step 11

Remove the grilled peppers from the heat and transfer them to a serving plate.

Step 12

Optional: for easier peeling, cover the grilled peppers with a bowl for a few minutes to let them steam.

Step 13
