Peppers are a wonderful ingredient for stews, salads, soups, rice, or pasta sauce, and are delicious on their own. Our recipe for sautéed bell peppers is an easy side dish for chicken, fish, pork, or beef, but also a great addition to an antipasto or a flavorful add-on to sandwiches, wraps, or even pizza. In this recipe, garlic and herbs add flavor to crispy strips of sautéed bell peppers. It's a quick preparation that accentuates their natural sweetness. A few herbs, seasonings, and good quality olive oil make a fantastic dish in less than 20 minutes.

2. Add the pepper strips, and sauté for 4 to 5 minutes or until the peppers begin to soften.

5. Toss again before serving. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. 

Serving suggestions:
