25 minutes total

Ingredients

  • 1 (8 oz) bag mini sweet bell peppers
  • 2 oz Deli pecorino Romano cheese
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 2 teaspoons fresh oregano
  • 2 tablespoons capers
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • Sliced crusty bread (optional for serving)

Steps

    1. Preheat grill (or grill pan) on medium-high. Cut peppers in half lengthwise and remove stems and membranes. Cut cheese into 3 (½-inch-thick) slices and coat with 1 tablespoon oil. Place peppers on grill; grill 7–8 minutes, turning occasionally, until tender and charred. Chop oregano finely.
    2. Grill cheese slices 1–2 minutes on each side until grill-marked; let stand to cool. Chop peppers and cheese into bite-size pieces and place in bowl with oregano, capers, salt, and remaining 3 tablespoons oil; toss to coat. Serve with sliced crusty bread, if using.
