Here’s how to make sauteed peppers and onions: tender, caramelized vegetables bursting with sweet flavor! It’s a healthy side dish is ready in just 15 minutes and works in everything from fajitas to sandwiches.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 multi-colored bell peppers
  • 1 medium yellow onion
  • 1 medium red onion
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • Fresh ground pepper

Instructions

  1. Thinly slice the peppers. Thinly slice the onions. Toss them in a bowl with 1 tablespoon olive oil, oregano, salt and pepper.
  2. In large skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium high heat. Cook the peppers and onions together until tender and lightly charred, about 10 to 12 minutes for crisp tender or about 15 minutes for tender, stirring occasionally. Taste and add additional salt to taste. Serve immediately.

Notes

Leftovers store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. I store them in an airtight container and reheat them in a skillet over medium heat. 

Fajita variation: For a fajita flavor, stir in 1 to 1.5 tablespoons fajita seasoning or 2 teaspoons cumin, 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1 teaspoon smoked paprika.
