What color peppers to use?
Bell peppers are not all created equal when it comes to flavor. Green bell peppers are savory, while orange and yellow bell peppers are sweeter, with red bell peppers being the sweetest. I love them all, but depending on your tastes you might want to choose a certain color pepper. Using multicolored peppers in this recipe adds both stunning visual appeal to the dish and gives different tastebuds in the family a chance to pick their favorite color and flavor!
