Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 whole red bell peppers
- 1 loaf baguette
- 3 whole garlic cloves
- 10 leaves fresh basil leaves
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C).
Place the whole red bell peppers on a baking sheet and roast them in the oven for 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until the skin is charred and blistered.
Remove the peppers from the oven and place them in a bowl. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and let sit for 10 minutes to steam.
Meanwhile, slice the baguette into 1/2-inch thick slices and lay them on a baking sheet.
Brush both sides of the baguette slices with 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
Toast the baguette slices in the oven for 5-7 minutes, until golden and crispy. Remove them and set aside.
Once the peppers have cooled, peel off the charred skins, remove the stems and seeds, and slice the peppers into thin strips.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
Chop the fresh basil leaves into thin ribbons.
In a medium bowl, mix the roasted red pepper strips with the minced garlic, chopped basil, the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
Spoon the red pepper mixture onto the toasted baguette slices.
Drizzle each bruschetta with a light topping of balsamic glaze.
Serve immediately and enjoy the delicious flavors!
