Grilled Whole Mini Sweet Peppers with Olive Oil and Herbs
These peppers are so versatile. They can be used for many purposes. Serve alone with toasted slices of sourdough for a lovely bruschetta or serve on top of grilled chicken or just place a bowl on your cheese or charcuterie platter. They last for days and can spruce up any meal. We even mix them into chili. No need to peel them or seed them, they are delicious just as they are. We just tossed them in olive oil and sprinkled salt, pepper, dried oregano and basil on them before grilling. Feel free to change the spices to your liking.
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Grilling Time: 7-8 minutes
Ingredients:
1 16 oz bag mini sweet peppers
2 Tbs olive oil
½ tsp dried oregano
½ tsp dried basil
½ tsp sea salt
freshly grated pepper
Directions:
Rinse the peppers well. Place in a medium bowl.
Toss the peppers with the olive oil. Coat evenly.
Sprinkle with herbs. Stir well
Grill 3-5 minutes on grill over medium low heat. You do not want them to cook too quickly as you do want them to soften a bit. Also, having nicely charred grill marks not only adds to the charming rustic look, but it adds a nice summer flavor.
