Ingredients

• 2 whole Red bell peppers
• 2 whole Yellow bell peppers
• 2 whole Green bell peppers
• 0.25 cup Extra virgin olive oil
• 0.25 cup Red wine vinegar
• 3 whole Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Dried basil
• 0.5 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes
• 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Freshly cracked black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) or prepare a grill for high heat.

Step 2

Wash and dry the bell peppers. Place them on a baking sheet (if using the oven) or directly on the grill grates.

Step 3

Roast or grill the peppers for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until all sides are charred and blistered.

Step 4

Immediately transfer the roasted peppers to a large bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Let them sit for 10 minutes to steam, which will make the skins easier to remove.

Step 5

Peel off the charred skins from the peppers. Remove the stems and seeds, then slice the peppers into thin strips.

Step 6

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried basil, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper.

Step 7

Add the sliced peppers to the marinade and toss to coat thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 8

Before serving, let the peppers sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley.

Step 9

Serve as a side dish, appetizer, or topping for crusty bread. Enjoy!
