2 tablespoons olive oil, divided

1 cup sliced orange bell pepper
1 large garlic clove, minced
1/4 cup dry white wine
3/8 teaspoon kosher salt
3/8 teaspoon black pepper

Preheat oven to 450 °.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon oil; swirl to coat. Add onion, bell pepper, and garlic to pan; sauté 4 minutes. Add wine, salt, and black pepper; cook 1 minute.
