Grilled Peppers and Onions
Description
This recipe uses three different colors of bell peppers and onion strips seasoned simply with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Grilling is done using a grill basket or an aluminum foil tray with holes to allow direct heat contact and ventilation. Cooking over medium-high heat for 15-20 minutes with occasional turning ensures even cooking and caramelization.
The result is tender vegetables with slightly crisp edges and natural sweetness enhanced by charring. These grilled peppers and onions are suitable as a side for grilled meats, incorporated into sandwiches, or served on their own.
Leftovers can be refrigerated and are best consumed within two days to maintain freshness.
Ingredients
- 1 green bell pepper cut into wide strips
- 1 red bell pepper cut into wide strips
- 1 yellow bell pepper cut into wide strips
- 1 onion cut into wide strips, white or sweet
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- salt
- black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat a grill to medium-high heat. If using a grill basket, place it on the grill while preheating. Or, fold a large piece of aluminum foil in half and fold up a 1-inch rim around the edge to make a tray. Poke several holes in the bottom of the foil with a fork.
- Place the peppers and onions in a bowl with the olive oil, salt and pepper. Mix to coat well.
- Grill in the grill basket or foil try for 15 to 20 minutes or until tender, turning the vegetables a few times to ensure even cooking.
Notes
- Store any leftover grilled peppers and onions in the refrigerator and consume within 2 days for best quality.
