Hello friends!!

Today I am coming to you with a staple at my house… or a stable seasonal item for us should I say!

And yes! You probably guessed it from the pictures… or the title Duuuh… this recipe does involve bell peppers. These both beautiful and tasty vegetables are usually available in the market year round but the peak time for the

 

I always knew I had this deep love for bell peppers! I have these bright memories of my grandmother grilling them before she made her famous (at least famous within our household) Felfel.

We used to enjoy this with fresh baguette bread and it is heavenly! I feel like I definitely should work on that recipe very soon!

But in this recipe, I will show you guys something a little different. This is more inspired by my healthy salad and rice summer bowls. (or if we are a little naughty for Philly cheese steak sandwiches from time to time!)

Tips to how to make the perfect caramelized bell peppers

 

  • Make sure your pan is on medium low heat, this will ensure that the bell peppers cook slowly and release all of their amazing flavors.

     

  • Slice the bell peppers into even slices to make sure that everything cooked evenly.
  • Do not crowd the pan. The bell peppers will steam down and cook eventually but they will take a very long time. USe a 12″ pan and give your veggies some room!

Notes

If the bell peppers start to stick to the pan because there is no more oil, add some water to help cook it without having to add too much oil.
