Ingredients
- 2 red bell peppers
- 2 yellow bell peppers
- 2 orange bell peppers
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 2 cloves, minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 10 fresh basil leaves
Directions
Step 1
Begin by washing the bell peppers thoroughly under running water. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Step 2
Cut the bell peppers in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and stems. Cut each half into thick slices, about 1 inch wide.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, dried oregano, sea salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Step 4
Add the bell pepper slices to the marinade and toss them until they are evenly coated. Let the peppers marinate for at least 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Step 5
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Ensure the grill grates are clean and lightly oil them to prevent sticking.
Step 6
Place the marinated bell pepper slices on the grill, skin side down. Grill them for about 5 minutes on each side, or until they are tender and have nice grill marks.
Step 7
Remove the grilled bell peppers from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter.
Step 8
Garnish the grilled peppers with fresh basil leaves before serving.
Step 9
Serve the Paleo Grilled Bell Peppers warm as a delicious side dish or as part of a main meal.
