1
Prepare the Jalapenos
Wash the jalapeno peppers under cold water. Pat them dry with a clean towel. Cut off the stems and slice each pepper in half lengthwise. Remove the seeds if you prefer a milder flavor.
2
Mix the Marinade
In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and lime juice. Whisk together until well combined.
3
Marinate the Jalapenos
Place the prepared jalapeno halves in a large bowl or a zip-top bag. Pour the marinade over the jalapenos, ensuring they are evenly coated. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes, up to 2 hours for more flavor.
4
Grill the Jalapenos
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Place the marinated jalapenos on the grill, cut side down. Grill for about 5-7 minutes, until they are slightly charred and tender. Flip them over and grill for an additional 3-5 minutes.
5
Garnish and Serve
Remove the grilled jalapenos from the grill and let them cool slightly. Chop the fresh cilantro and sprinkle it over the grilled jalapenos. Serve warm as a side dish or appetizer.
