Ingredients

• 4 whole green bell peppers
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Step 2

Wash and dry the green bell peppers. Cut them into quarters, removing the stems, seeds, and ribs.

Flip the peppers and grill for an additional 4-5 minutes until they are tender and have grill marks.

Step 7

Remove the peppers from the grill and drench them with a splash of lemon juice.

Step 8

Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the top of the grilled peppers for garnish.

Step 9

Serve the grilled green peppers hot as a side dish or as a topping for sandwiches and salads.
