Ingredients

• 1 large Red bell pepper
• 1 large Green bell pepper
• 1 large Yellow bell pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 medium Garlic cloves, minced
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Start by washing the red, green, and yellow bell peppers thoroughly under cold water. Pat them dry with a kitchen towel.

Step 2

Slice off the tops of the bell peppers, remove the seeds and membranes, and cut them into thin strips, approximately 1/4 inch wide.

Step 3

Peel and mince the garlic cloves. Set aside.

Step 4

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Allow the oil to warm up slightly.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute, stirring frequently, until it becomes fragrant but not browned.

Step 6

Increase the heat to medium-high and add the bell pepper strips to the skillet. Stir to coat the peppers with the oil and garlic evenly.

Step 7

Sprinkle the salt and black pepper over the peppers. Stir well to combine the seasoning with the peppers.

Step 8

Sauté the peppers for 10 to 12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender-crisp and have started to develop slight caramelization.

Step 9

Once the peppers are cooked, remove the skillet from the heat and drizzle the lemon juice over them. Toss to ensure everything is well mixed.

Step 10

Transfer the sautéed peppers to a serving dish and garnish them with the chopped fresh parsley.

Step 11

Serve immediately as a side dish or use them as a topping for your favorite main course.
