Directions
1
Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate. Reduce grill heat to medium.

Grill whole red, yellow, and orange bell peppers on the preheated grill until charred on all sides, turning about every 5 minutes. Place charred peppers in a resealable plastic bag and seal well. Allow peppers to cool in the bag.

Remove cooled peppers from the bag and scrape off charred skins. Cut peppers in half; remove seeds and stems. Slice peppers into long strips and place in oil mixture. Mix well, ensuring peppers are covered in oil.
