Ingredients

• 4 pieces Bell peppers (assorted colors)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder (optional)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Wash the bell peppers thoroughly under running water and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.

Step 3

Cut the bell peppers in half lengthwise and remove the stems, seeds, and membranes.

Step 4

Slice each half into 1-inch wide strips.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, toss the bell pepper strips with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and, if desired, garlic powder.

Step 6

Spread the bell pepper strips in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased to prevent sticking.

Step 7

Roast the peppers in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping them halfway through to ensure even cooking. The peppers should be tender and slightly charred around the edges when done.

Step 8

Remove the roasted bell peppers from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes.

Step 9

Transfer the peppers to a serving dish and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.

Step 10

Serve warm as a side dish, or let them cool completely to use as a topping for other dishes.
