Ingredients

• 4 large bell peppers
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Start by washing the bell peppers thoroughly under running water. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.

Step 2

Using a sharp knife, remove the stems, seeds, and membranes from the bell peppers. Cut each pepper into quarters or strips, depending on your preference.

Step 3

In a large bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, black pepper, dried oregano, and lemon juice. Whisk together until well-blended.

Step 4

Add the sliced bell peppers to the bowl and toss them until they are evenly coated with the olive oil mixture.

Step 5

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.

Step 6

Place the bell peppers on the grill, skin-side down. Grill for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until they are tender and have visible grill marks.

Step 7

Remove the bell peppers from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter.

Step 8

Serve immediately while warm. They can also be served at room temperature.
