Marinated sweet peppers with lemon embody the taste of sunshine and Mediterranean freshness. The dish recalls traditional European marinades where simple ingredients transform into exquisite delights. Roasted until tender, the peppers gain a delicate sweetness, while the addition of lemon juice and zest gives them a light citrus tang. Oregano and garlic create a rich aroma, and olive oil makes the texture silky. This is an ideal appetizer or side dish that will enhance the table and complement meat and fish dishes.
