Ingredients

• 4 whole red bell peppers
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, ensuring the grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.

Step 2

Wash and dry the red bell peppers. If desired, you can remove the stems and seeds now, or leave the peppers whole and handle this step after grilling.

Step 3

Drizzle the peppers with olive oil, ensuring they're evenly coated, then sprinkle with kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder for seasoning.

Step 4

Place the peppers directly onto the grill grates. Close the lid and cook for 10-15 minutes, turning the peppers every 3-4 minutes to ensure even charring on all sides.

Step 5

Once the peppers are beautifully charred and the skins are blistering, remove them from the grill and transfer them to a heatproof bowl. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a plate to trap steam and make peeling easier.

Step 6

Allow the peppers to cool for about 10 minutes. Once cool, gently peel off the charred skin. If you haven't already, remove the stems, seeds, and membranes as desired.

Step 7

Slice the roasted peppers into strips or leave them whole, depending on your preference and intended use.

Step 8

Serve the roasted peppers warm or at room temperature. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired and enjoy as a side dish, in sandwiches, or as a topping for grilled meats.
