When many people think of grilling vegetables, they’re thinking of recipes like my grilled cilantro vegetables in foil. But, it’s even more fun to grill inside using a searing grill.
These grilled chicken kabobs with vegetables are another recipe that would work well both inside and out.
Grilled Peppers with Feta Cheese
These grilled bell peppers are a simple side dish that you can prepare when you don’t want to heat up the oven to make grilled stuffed peppers.
The peppers are halved and then grilled using the Hamilton Beach searing grill. Then, the peppers are sliced and feta cheese with a tangy dressing is added to the plate.
You can serve it as is or place it on a bed of lettuce or mixed spring greens for a light lunch.
This is such a simple recipe to make that you can have it ready in about 15 minutes. It can serve more or less depending on how many peppers you grill.
Because it contains basically peppers, feta cheese, and a dressing, this is a delicious low-carb side dish that we often enjoy year-round.
Tools / Equipment for this recipe
- Cutting board
- Sharp knife
- Hamilton Beach Electric Indoor Searing Grill
This indoor searing grill helps me enjoy grilling all year long. It has a high heat that helps lock in flavor and juices when grilling meat.
But, it also lets you use a variable temperature control when you want to grill fruits and vegetables like these Grilled Peppers with Feta Cheese.
Plus, it comes with a hood window that makes it easy to keep an eye on my food without lifting the lid which alters the temperature.
The non-stick drip plate and drip tray make clean up easy when I’m done.
What are the best peppers to use for grilled peppers with feta?
I love the color of yellow, orange, and red peppers combined. I think it makes for an attractive side dish.

Ingredients
- Colorful bell peppers
- Crumbled Feta cheese
- Italian dressing or olive oil and balsamic vinegar
- Salt and pepper
- Fresh mint or basil (optional)
What else can I add to this dish?
To turn this side dish into a lunch salad, you can always add olives, toasted pine nuts, and red pepper flakes.
If you want to add a little bit of heat to this recipe, you can grill a poblano pepper or serrano pepper and chop that up to serve with the bell peppers.

What to serve with grilled peppers
Grilled peppers with feta cheese makes a great side dish for just about anything. Why not try it with my Italian Pork Chop recipe or my tender beef shish kebabs.
Or, simply serve them on a bed of greens.
How to store leftovers
Grilled peppers with feta is definitely best enjoyed hot right off the grill. But, if you do have leftovers, you can store them in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 5 days.
When you want to reheat your grilled peppers with feta, place them in the microwave for a few seconds to warm them up. Then, place them on a bed of lettuce and serve. You may need to add a bit more Italian dressing when you serve them.
