    Heat oven to 425°F. Slice peppers into 1/2-inch strips, removing seeds and stems.

    Drizzle wrapped pork with olive oil. Spread on a sheet pan in a single layer.

  5. Step 5

    Roast 12–14 minutes until pork reaches 145°F internal temp and edges char slightly.

    Remove from oven. Squeeze lemon over top and serve immediately.
