3 bell peppers (any color), seeded and sliced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/4 cup chopped fresh mint
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Toss bell peppers with olive oil, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet.
