Choosing Your Peppers
Any bell pepper will work well in this easy recipe. Red, orange and yellow peppers have a sweeter flavor, while green peppers tend to be less sweet. You can mix up the colors or choose just one. Whichever bell peppers you choose, make sure you slice them evenly so they cook at the same rate.
Flavors to Try
We opt for just salt here, but that doesn’t mean you can’t jazz them up! Adding a teaspoon of chili powder, garlic powder, curry powder or Italian seasoning can take these peppers in different directions depending on how you want to use them.
How to Use Sautéed Peppers & Onions
You can enjoy peppers and onions on their own as a side dish dressed up with a splash of balsamic vinegar and chopped fresh herbs. Or you can use them as a topping for hot dogs, sausages or hamburgers. Sautéed Peppers & Onions are excellent added to quesadillas or tacos, or you can use them as a pizza topping.
Can I Make Sautéed Peppers & Onions Ahead?
Yes! Cook then refrigerate them for up to 4 days. You can even use this recipe to meal prep a week of dinners withthis plan.

Nutrition Facts(per serving)
- Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
