How to Sauté Peppers and Onions Perfectly
Slice Evenly
– Cut peppers and onions into thin, uniform strips for even cooking.
Heat the Pan
– Use a large skillet over medium-high heat and add oil for a perfect sauté.
Start with Onions
– Add onions first and cook for 2–3 minutes until they start to soften.
Add Peppers
– Stir in the peppers and sauté them with the onions for a balanced texture.
Season for Flavor
– Sprinkle salt, black pepper, and optional spices like garlic powder or paprika.
Stir Occasionally
– Let the veggies cook without stirring too much to get a slight char and deeper flavor.
Cook Until Tender
– Sauté for 7–10 minutes until the peppers and onions are soft but still slightly crisp.
Serve and Enjoy
– Use them as a topping for tacos, fajitas, sandwiches, or as a tasty side dish.
