Grilled Peppers
I am not a big pepper fan, but I do love grilled peppers.
It’s that time of year again – when the grill is used in full force and we look for fantastic vegetable side dish recipes for picnics, barbecues and everyday easy dinner recipes.
This pepper recipe looks wonderful if you use a variety of colorful peppers – red, green, yellow, purple and orange.
If you like things hot, you can do two things. You can add a bit of your favorite hot sauce to the marinade recipe.
You can also add a few hot peppers, like jalapeno peppers. The mix of sweet and hot peppers will add a bit of spice to the meal.
If you really like it hot, use all hot peppers in the recipe. Really make sure though that everyone who will be eating these grilled peppers like things as hot as you do, or it will be very uncomfortable, and possibly inedible, for them.
The marinade recipe combines healthy olive oil with lemon juice and a bit of Worcestershire sauce for tangy flavor.
Serve this tasty vegetable recipe as a side dish with grilled beef or chicken. It’s also a great vegetarian recipe.

Grilled Pepper Recipe
Prep time: Cook time: |
|
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon thyme
1 teaspoon basil
salt and pepper to taste
6 – 8 assorted peppers
Mix all the marinade ingredients together and set aside. Cut the peppers into 2 or 4 pieces. Place the pieces on a plate and season them. Pour the marinade over the pieces and marinade for 15 minutes.
Oil the grill and set it to medium heat. Cook the peppers over medium heat, turning often and basting occasionally until they are softened and the skin is blackened in spots.
Tip:
- If you like it hot, add a few drops (or as many as you like) of hot sauce to the marinade.
- If you like you can remove the skin from the peppers before serving them.
