Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Gluten-free bread
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Fresh garlic, minced
- 1 cup Canned crushed tomatoes (unsalted, if possible)
- 0.25 cup Onion, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.25 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh basil leaves, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Nutritional yeast (optional, for a cheesy flavor)
Instructions
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a small saucepan over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and chopped onion. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until aromatic and the onion becomes translucent.
Pour in the crushed tomatoes and stir to combine with the garlic-onion mixture.
Add dried oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well and let the sauce simmer on low heat for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
Meanwhile, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet or on a grill pan.
Lightly toast the gluten-free bread slices for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden and crispy.
Once the tomato sauce has thickened, stir in the fresh basil leaves. Taste and adjust the seasoning, if necessary.
If using, sprinkle 1 tablespoon of nutritional yeast into the sauce for a cheesy depth of flavor and stir well.
Place the toasted gluten-free bread slices on a plate, and spoon the savory tomato sauce generously over each slice.
Serve warm, garnished with additional fresh basil or a drizzle of olive oil, if desired.
