Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large red bell peppers
- 3 medium garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 loaf baguette
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
Place the red bell peppers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Roast the peppers in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, turning them halfway through, until the skins are charred and blistered.
While the peppers roast, mince the garlic cloves and set them aside.
Once the peppers are charred, remove them from the oven and transfer them to a large bowl. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the peppers steam for 10 minutes to loosen the skins.
Peel the skins off the roasted peppers, remove the seeds and stems, and slice the peppers into thin strips.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced peppers, minced garlic, olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat the peppers evenly.
Chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the pepper mixture.
Slice the baguette into thin rounds and toast them lightly in the oven or on a skillet until golden and crisp.
Serve the roasted peppers on the toasted baguette slices or alongside them for a customizable appetizer. Optionally, garnish with an extra drizzle of olive oil or a sprinkle of parsley before serving.
