Ingredients

• 4 whole bell peppers (red, yellow, orange, or green)
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 whole garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 2

Rinse the bell peppers and pat them dry. Cut each pepper in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and stems. Cut each half into thick strips, about 1-inch wide.

Step 3

Place the pepper strips on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Drizzle the mixture evenly over the bell peppers.

Step 5

Toss the peppers gently to ensure they are evenly coated with the oil and seasoning mixture.

Step 6

Spread the peppers out in a single layer on the baking sheet to ensure even roasting.

Step 7

Roast the peppers in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until they are slightly charred around the edges and tender.

Step 8

Remove the peppers from the oven and transfer them to a serving dish. If desired, drizzle with balsamic vinegar for added flavor.

Step 9

Sprinkle the roasted peppers with freshly chopped parsley just before serving.

Step 10

Serve warm or at room temperature as a side dish or part of a larger meal. Enjoy!
