Equipment

  • Grill

Ingredients
  

  • 2 large vibrant green bell peppers sliced
  • 1 medium red onion thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon aromatic dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Let’s dive into how to whip up this delicious dish, step by step.

Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients

  • Start by assembling all the ingredients listed above. Take a moment to appreciate their colors and textures. Fresh produce has a way of lifting your spirits!

Step 2: Prepare the Vegetables

  • Slice the bell peppers into thin strips. For the onion, aim for thin slices as well. The goal here is to ensure even cooking. Aim for a nice thickness that won’t collapse on the grill.

Step 3: Marinate the Vegetables

  • In a bowl, combine the sliced vegetables. Drizzle with olive oil, then add the dried oregano, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Using your hands or a spatula, toss everything together until well coated. It’s okay to get a little messy!

Step 4: Preheat Your Grill

  • If you’re using an outdoor grill, fire it up over medium-high heat. For indoor cooking, a grill pan on the stove works wonders. Allow it to preheat for several minutes.

Step 5: Grill the Vegetables

  • Now, take your coated vegetables and place them directly on the grill or in the pan. Let them cook for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. You want a nice char and tenderness to develop.

Step 6: Serve and Enjoy

  • Once grilled, remove the veggies from the heat. Serve hot and enjoy them over tacos, in salads, or any meal that needs a vibrant touch. Get ready for some compliments!

Notes

  • Choose Ripe Produce: Freshness matters. Opt for firm bell peppers and onions.
  • Experiment with Spices: You can play around with seasonings. Chipotle powder adds heat!
  • Don’t Overcrowd: Give the veggies enough space on the grill for even cooking.
  • Try Different Peppers: Green bell peppers are great, but consider red, yellow, or even poblano for variation.
  • Serve Immediately: Fajita vegetables are best served right off the grill.
