Grilled Peppers with Feta and Basil
Ingredients
- 3 large bell peppers, cut into 1/2-inch thick strips
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons champagne vinegar
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/2 avocado, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup basil, julienned
- 2 ounces feta, crumbled
- Flaky sea salt
Directions
- Preheat an outdoor griil to high heat.
- Toss pepper slices, olive oil, salt, pepper and garlic powder in a large bowl.
- Grill peppers until charred and softened, 4 to 6 minutes per side. Transfer peppers to a large serving platter.
- Drizzle vinegar and oil all over the peppers. Scatter the avocado slices, basil and feta over top. Finish with a hefty pinch of flaky sea salt. Enjoy immediately or at room temperature.
For a spicy kick, char a jalapeno or serrano pepper on the grill alongside the bell peppers. Chop it up and scatter it over the peppers.

You had me at feta and basil. Whenever my friends fire up the grill, I make this recipe. It's also great for vegetarians or pairs well with steak.
Steven Gomes says:
Added jalapeno peppers on the grill with grilled peppers. I really like the sweet and spicy combo. This is perfect for summer nights.
Jeremy Hughes says:
Perfect summer and entertaining! I did a basil and kale mix, and it was delicious.
Jessica Scott says:
This dish was so easy, but also incredibly delicious. I didn't really start to like peppers until I became an adult, but now I'm obsessed with them. The goat feta and bail really gave it that Mediterranean feel that I absolutely love. I enjoyed this very much!
Jennifer Ingram says:
Never would have come up with this combo - but it will be in my regular rotation from now til end of time. Brilliant balance of flavors - sweet, smoky, salty, rich, fresh.... perfection. I also fell in love with feta in greece, and use it every chance I can!
