Ingredients

• 4 medium sweet bell peppers (red, yellow, or orange)
• 2 medium red onion
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 400°F). If using a grill pan, place it on the stove over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Wash and dry the sweet bell peppers. Slice them lengthwise into thick strips, discarding the seeds and stem.

Step 3

Peel the red onions and cut them into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Keep the rounds intact so they are easier to grill.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and ground black pepper. Whisk together to make the marinade.

Step 5

Add the sliced peppers and onion rounds to the bowl. Toss well with the marinade, ensuring all pieces are coated evenly.

Step 6

Place the pepper strips and onion rounds directly on the preheated grill or grill pan. If needed, use a grill basket to prevent pieces from falling through the grates.

Step 7

Cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the peppers are tender with char marks and the onions are soft and slightly caramelized. Use tongs to flip the vegetables halfway through cooking.

Step 8

Remove the grilled vegetables from the heat and transfer them to a serving platter. Optional: Drizzle with an extra teaspoon of balsamic vinegar or garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.

Step 9

Serve warm as a side dish, or use as a topping for sandwiches, burgers, or salads.
