Sautéed Bell Peppers and Onions

The Flavor Engine: Why Sautéed Bell Peppers & Onions are a Prept Fam Essential
If you’re looking to transform your meal prep from “basic” to “bistro,” look no further than our Sautéed Bell Peppers and Onions. For the Prept Fam, this colorful medley is known as the “Flavor Engine.” It’s the secret to adding natural sweetness, aromatic depth, and a gourmet feel to your containers—all while keeping your nutrition on point.

Here’s why a pound of these caramelized beauties belongs in your weekly Prept haul.

1. Natural Sweetness, Zero Refined Sugar
Bell peppers and onions contain natural sugars that emerge and caramelize when sautéed. This gives you a sweet-and-savory flavor profile that satisfies the palate without the need for sugary bottled glazes or heavy sauces. It’s the “clean” way to indulge your sweet tooth during a savory meal.

2. A Micronutrient Rainbow
We eat with our eyes first, but that color isn’t just for show.

Vitamin C Powerhouse: Bell peppers (especially red and yellow) pack more Vitamin C than oranges, helping keep your immune system sharp.

Quercetin-Rich Onions: Onions are loaded with quercetin, an antioxidant that helps fight inflammation and supports heart health—essential for recovery after a grueling Prept workout.

3. The Ultimate “Meal Starter.”
The versatility of this mix is unmatched. It acts as a shortcut for dozens of different cuisines:

The Fajita Fix: Toss them with steak or chicken, and serve with a side of our Pico de Gallo for an instant Mexican-style feast.

The Italian Stir: Mix them into our Linguine Pasta with a drizzle of olive oil for a classic “Pasta Primavera” vibe.

The Breakfast Boost: Fold them into your morning omelet or a potato hash using our Roasted Potatoes.

4. High Volume, High Satisfaction
Like our other veggie sides, sautéed peppers and onions add significant volume to your plate. Because they are fiber-dense, they help you feel full and satisfied, making it easier to stick to your portions without feeling restricted.

Prept Fam Tip:
Sautéed peppers and onions are one of the few items that actually taste better the next day. As they sit in the fridge, the flavors meld together. When reheating, give them a quick toss in a hot pan for 2 minutes to bring back that “just-cooked” silkiness.

Turn up the flavor. Order your Sautéed Bell Peppers and Onions by the pound and stay Prept with the best aromatics in the game.
