Grilled red peppers with olive oil, parsley, and seasonings is a simple yet flavorful dish that makes for a perfect side or appetizer. This recipe enhances the natural sweetness of red peppers with a hint of smokiness from grilling, complemented by fresh parsley, and seasoned with olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 375°F to 400°F, or 190°C to 200°C).
- Wash the red peppers thoroughly under running water.
- Pat them dry with a kitchen towel.
- Cut the peppers in half lengthwise, and remove the seeds and stem.
- In a large bowl, toss the red pepper halves with 2 tablespoons of olive oil until they are evenly coated.
- Sprinkle the peppers with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Gently toss to make sure the seasonings are evenly distributed.
- Place the seasoned red pepper halves on the preheated grill, skin-side down.
- Grill for about 6-8 minutes, or until the skin is charred and the peppers are tender. Use tongs to turn the peppers occasionally to ensure even cooking.
- While the peppers are grilling, finely chop the fresh parsley. You should have about 1/2 cup.
- Once the peppers are grilled to your liking, remove them from the grill and transfer to a serving platter.
- Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley evenly over the grilled peppers.
- For added flavor, you can drizzle a bit more olive oil over the peppers before serving.
- Serve warm as a side dish or chilled as part of a salad.
Tips:
- Choose bright red, firm peppers without any blemishes for the best flavor.
- To ensure even grilling, cut the peppers into uniform pieces.
- If you don't have a grill, you can also roast the peppers in the oven at 450°F (232°C) until they are charred and tender.
- For a smoky flavor boost, consider adding a pinch of smoked paprika to the seasoning mix.
- After grilling, you can peel off the charred skins for a smoother texture, though this is optional.
Grilled red peppers with olive oil, parsley, and seasonings are a versatile and delicious addition to any meal. By following these tips and steps, you can make a nutrient-rich and vibrant dish that will impress your family and guests.
