VERSATILITY WITH EVERY BITE –

Bell Peppers can be sauteed, grilled or steamed! You can add bell peppers to nearly anything, for example: when making an omelet, dice some bell pepper and toss that in with the egg for a pop of color in your breakfast. Or, if you’re having a homemade pizza night, be sure to have a bowl of bell pepper slices that can be roasted in with the gooey cheese as the pizza cooks in the oven.

Another personal favorite way to cook bell pepper, however, is to assemble skewers with chicken, diced bell pepper, and onion, and then throw them on the grill. The intense direct heat from the grill creates char marks on the peppers and onion: intensifying the natural sweetness of the veggies. The grilled flavors of the veggies complement the seasoned pieces of chicken perfectly– a match made in heaven.
