- ½ tsp dried oregano
- ¼ tsp cayenne pepper
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp fresh lime juice (from about 2 limes)

Instructions

Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon garlic-infused oil in a large (12-inch) skillet or cast iron pan over high heat until the oil shimmers and just begins to smoke. Add the bell pepper strips in a single layer and cook, undisturbed, for 2 minutes, then toss and continue cooking until the peppers are tender with charred edges, about 2 minutes more. Add the scallion greens and toss for 30 seconds until just wilted. Transfer the vegetables to a plate.
