In general I am not a big fan of peppers, but I do love grilled peppers.
When the weather is warm and the grill is used in full force, we look for fantastic vegetable side dish recipes for picnics, barbecues and everyday easy dinner recipes.
The marinade recipe combines healthy olive oil with lemon juice and a bit of Worcestershire sauce for tangy flavor.
This pepper recipe looks even more wonderful on the plate 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 or you can also add a few of your favorite hot peppers. Any hot peppers work well, 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.
