Ingredients

• 1 medium Red bell pepper
• 1 medium Yellow bell pepper
• 1 medium Green bell pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.125 teaspoons Red pepper flakes
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Wash the red, yellow, and green bell peppers thoroughly. Cut them in half, remove the seeds and membranes, and slice them into thin strips.

Step 2

Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.

Step 4

Once the oil is shimmering, add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant, stirring frequently to prevent burning.

Step 5

Add the sliced bell peppers to the skillet. Stir well to coat the peppers in the garlicky olive oil.

Step 6

Sprinkle in the salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir to combine, and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the peppers soften slightly but still retain some crunch.

Step 7

Remove from heat and transfer the sautéed peppers to a serving dish.

Step 8

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately as a side dish or topping.
