Ingredients

  • 3 multicolored bell peppers, seeded and quartered lengthwise

  • 2 medium yellow onions, cut crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick slices

  • 2 ½ tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided

  • ¾ teaspoon salt

  • ½ teaspoon ground pepper

  • Canola oil for grill

  • 1 ½ tablespoons red-wine vinegar

  • Torn fresh basil leaves for garnish

Directions

  1. Preheat grill to medium-high (400-450°F). Brush bell peppers and onions with 1 tablespoon olive oil; sprinkle with salt and pepper.

  2. Oil the grill grates by partially soaking a few paper towels in canola oil and using tongs to quickly wipe the grates. Place the vegetables on the oiled grates; grill, covered, until just tender, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a serving platter.

  3. Whisk vinegar and remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil in a small bowl. Drizzle over the grilled vegetables. Garnish with basil, if desired.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* 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.)
