Ingredients
- Bell pepper: Add multicolored bell peppers, such as yellow, orange, green, and red. This blend is pleasing to the eyes and adds value to the food. I have used just the bell peppers; feel free to use other mild chili pepper varieties, like banana and poblano pepper.
- Onion: I've used red onions; yellow onions work great, too.
- Grape seed oil is one of my reliable options for providing extra deliciousness and wholesome flavor. You can also swap it for olive oil.
- Apple cider vinegar: Infusing the bell pepper slices with apple cider vinegar adds up mild acidity.
- Red pepper flakes: I highly recommend using this. It gives the bell peppers a minimal kick without being overly spicy.
