Grilled Bell Peppers

A perfect dish for a cookout — make it and treat your family! Grilled bell peppers are a great alternative to a meaty barbecue. The upside? Peppers are lighter than pork and, of course, loaded with vitamins. This veggie dish won't hurt your waistline and is sure to please. It's also a favorite for anyone watching what they eat — because you still want to join everyone outdoors, and no one likes just watching while the rest dig into grilled meat. There's a way out: bring peppers along!

    1. For the best grilled peppers, start with good-quality produce. A mix of colors makes the dish brighter and more fun. Go for thick, fleshy peppers. 2. Rinse the peppers under running water. Cut large ones in half and remove the core and seeds; medium and small peppers can stay whole. 3. Set the peppers on a grill grate and place it over the coals. The key is to grill over hot, glowing coals — never over open flames. 4. Grill the peppers for about 3–5 minutes per side, until done. If you're using different varieties, they may cook at different rates — some faster, some slower — so keep an eye on them and pull the softer, more tender ones off in time. 5. Make the dressing: pour the lemon juice and soy sauce into a small bowl, add the olive oil, and stir. If you like, add some minced garlic. 6. Drizzle the dressing over the peppers while they're still warm and let them sit for a couple of minutes to soak it up. It's best to stick with olive oil here rather than another vegetable oil — it suits this dish best. Vegetarians will love it, but even committed meat-eaters won't turn down a serving or two of hot, fragrant peppers! Enjoy, and have a great time outdoors!
