Grilled bell peppers are proof that sometimes the simplest recipes can be the most delicious. This easy-to-make side dish is perfect for summer, bringing out the natural sweetness of the peppers and adding a delightful charred flavor. Let’s fire up the grill and get started!
You’ll need:
- 4 large sweet bell peppers: Red, orange, and yellow are best for their sweetness, while green peppers are less sweet.
- Olive oil
- Sea salt & black pepper
To make:
- Heat your grill over medium-high heat for about 5-10 minutes until hot.
- Slice the bell peppers in half and remove the stems, seeds, and pith with a sharp knife.
- Using a basting or pastry brush, coat both sides of the pepper halves with olive oil.
- Place the bell peppers cut side down onto the preheated grill. Cook undisturbed with the lid closed for 4-5 minutes.
- Flip the peppers to the other side and grill with the lid closed for an additional 4-5 minutes until the peppers are cooked al dente with a nice char.
- Transfer the peppers from the grill to a foil-lined pan (optional) or plate. Season both sides with sea salt and fresh cracked black pepper. Drizzle with a little aged balsamic or chimichurri for extra flavor. Enjoy!
