- You can use bell peppers of any color, shape, or size for this recipe. What matters is that they're whole, unblemished, and juicy — the meatier and juicier the pepper, the better the dish. Grilled peppers are a hugely popular hot appetizer in the West, and they're catching on more here every year. They're quick and easy to make. All you need is the peppers themselves, a little olive oil and lime juice, and a pinch of sea salt. Start by rinsing the peppers well under running water and drying them on a paper towel. Put them in a bowl and coat them with olive oil, tossing so every pepper is covered. Then add the lime juice for a little bright, tangy flavor. We'll grill the peppers whole, though you can halve especially large ones lengthwise — just coat the inside with the oil-and-lime mixture too. Heat up the grill (an electric grill works too). Once it's hot, lay the peppers on in small batches so each one sits directly on the cooking surface. Grill until they start to blister and get characteristic char marks on the underside. Transfer the grilled peppers to a nice big platter and start the next batch. Finally, sprinkle the grilled peppers with sea salt to taste and serve. That's all there is to this appetizer — you can make it right in the middle of a good conversation. ;) Enjoy!
