Ingredients
- 4 whole green bell peppers
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (approximately 400°F or 200°C).
Step 2
Wash and dry the green bell peppers thoroughly. Cut them in half lengthwise, removing the stem, seeds, and membranes.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, sea salt, ground black pepper, garlic powder, and dried oregano.
Step 4
Brush the insides of each green pepper half with the seasoned olive oil mixture, ensuring an even coating.
Step 5
Place the peppers cut side down on the preheated grill. Close the lid and grill for about 6-8 minutes, until the peppers exhibit grill marks.
Step 6
Flip the peppers and continue grilling for another 6-7 minutes until they are tender and the skin is charred.
Step 7
Once done, remove the peppers from the grill and drizzle them with fresh lemon juice.
Step 8
Optionally, sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and flavor.
Step 9
Serve immediately while warm, pairing with your favorite Paleo-friendly main dish or enjoy as a standalone side.
