Preheat oven to 375 degrees F and lightly grease a 9x16 casserole dish with olive oil. Set aside..

Place the bell pepper halves, cut-side-up into the greased baking dish. Lightly season with half of the sea salt, ground black pepper, and garlic powder.

Place the casserole dish into the oven, and bake in the oven for 20 minutes, or until the bell peppers start to become tender.
