Ingredients

- Next, cut the peppers into slices. The thickness of the slices is up to you.
- Add bell peppers to a microwave-safe dish. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Use a spoon to toss the pepper strips in the seasonings.
- Cover the container loosely with a microwave-safe lid and place it in the microwave. Heat on high for 7 minutes.

- Lift the lid off of the container and enjoy the bell peppers.
