Ingredients

• 4 pieces red bell peppers
• 2 pieces yellow bell peppers
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 pieces garlic cloves
• 2 teaspoons fresh oregano
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon capers
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 2

Wash and dry the bell peppers. Slice them in half lengthwise and remove the seeds, stems, and white ribs.

Step 3

Place the pepper halves cut-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

Step 4

Brush the peppers lightly with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, ensuring they are well-coated.

Step 5

Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the skin is blistered and slightly charred in spots.

Step 6

While the peppers are roasting, finely mince the garlic cloves and chop the fresh oregano and parsley.

Step 7

Once the peppers are done roasting, remove them from the oven and immediately transfer to a heatproof bowl. Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and let the peppers steam for 10 minutes. This will help loosen the skins.

Step 8

Peel off the skins from the peppers (they should come off easily after steaming). Slice the peppers into strips and transfer them to a serving dish.

Step 9

Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the roasted pepper strips. Sprinkle with minced garlic, oregano, parsley, and capers. Season with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste.

Step 10

Toss gently to combine, ensuring the flavors are evenly distributed.

Step 11

Serve immediately as a warm dish or allow the peppers to cool to room temperature and serve as part of a Mediterranean platter. Enjoy!
