Celebrate these super healthy veggies with a quick stir-fry dish. Although there’s nothing complicated about this recipe, sautéing the bell peppers properly until they’re golden-brown is essential.
To achieve the proper results, you need two things: a non-stick skillet with a heavy-bottom so that the heat gets distributed evenly, and a light hand when it comes to handling the peppers. Tossing or stirring them too frequently will make them break apart and will not allow them to caramelize properly.
