Ingredients
- 2 medium size Red bell peppers
- 2 medium size Yellow bell peppers
- 2 medium size Green bell peppers
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 medium size Onion
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 5 leaves Fresh basil leaves
Directions
Step 1
Wash all the bell peppers thoroughly. Cut the tops off and remove the cores and seeds. Slice the peppers into thin strips.
Step 2
Peel and thinly slice the garlic cloves. Peel the onion, cut it in half, and slice it thinly.
Step 3
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and let it heat up for about a minute.
Step 4
Once the oil is hot, add the sliced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until it becomes translucent.
Step 5
Add the garlic to the skillet and sauté for an additional minute until fragrant.
Step 6
Add the sliced bell peppers to the skillet. Stir to coat the peppers with the oil and mix them with the onions and garlic.
Step 7
Season the peppers with salt and black pepper. Continue to sauté for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the peppers are slightly tender, yet still crisp.
Step 8
Tear the fresh basil leaves into small pieces and add them to the skillet. Toss everything together to combine.
Step 9
Remove from heat and serve the sautéed bell peppers warm as a side dish or topping.
