Ingredients
- 4 Green Bell Peppers
- 1–2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the peppers: Rinse your green bell peppers thoroughly to clean them. Slice each pepper down the middle and remove the core to discard seeds and membranes.
- Slice the peppers: Cut the cored bell peppers into slices about ½ to 1 cm thick. Place these slices evenly in a pan to prepare for cooking.
- Cook on medium-low heat: Drizzle 1 to 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the sliced peppers. Season with salt and pepper according to your taste preferences. Cook on medium-low heat for 40-50 minutes, stirring every 5 to 10 minutes. As the peppers cook down and become more tender, increase stirring frequency to prevent burning and ensure even caramelization.
Notes
- Use medium-low heat to allow slow caramelization without burning.
- Stirring frequently towards the end of cooking prevents sticking and charring.
- Adjust seasoning to your preference; adding a pinch of sugar can enhance sweetness if desired.
- Cooked caramelized peppers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
- Use as a topping for sandwiches, pizzas, or as a side vegetable.
