Ingredients

• 3 large red bell peppers
• 2 large yellow bell peppers
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 quarter cup sliced almonds
• 2 cloves garlic
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Wash the red and yellow bell peppers, cut them in half lengthwise, and remove the seeds and stems.

Step 3

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup. Arrange the halved bell peppers cut-side down on the sheet.

Step 4

Roast the peppers in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the skins are blistered and slightly charred.

Step 5

While the peppers are roasting, heat a dry skillet over medium heat and toast the sliced almonds until lightly golden, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 6

Mince the garlic cloves and chop the fresh parsley finely.

Step 7

Once the peppers are done roasting, remove them from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes. Peel off the charred skins (they should slide off easily).

Step 8

Cut the peeled peppers into thick strips and transfer them to a serving platter.

Step 9

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, honey, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.

Step 10

Drizzle the honey-olive oil mixture evenly over the roasted bell pepper strips.

Step 11

Sprinkle the toasted almonds on top and garnish with chopped parsley.

Step 12

Serve warm or at room temperature as a side dish or light appetizer.
