Balsamic Grilled Bell Peppers

Side Dishes.
This recipe plays up the bright colours and sweet taste of bell peppers. I recommend using a mix of red, orange and yellow peppers—they’re so colourful and also provide plenty of vitamin C. Each serving delivers 284 milligrams of vitamin C—almost 4 day’s worth!  

Balsamic Grilled Bell Peppers

Quantity Ingredients
4 bell peppers, red yellow or orange
