- Meanwhile, in nonstick 12-inch skillet, heat oil over medium heat until hot. Add peppers and onion and cook covered, 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add remaining 3⁄4 teaspoon chili powder, 1⁄2 teaspoon sugar, and 1⁄4 teaspoon salt, and cook 5 minutes longer, uncovered, or until vegetables are tender and golden, stirring occasionally.
