Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf French baguette
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 Garlic cloves
- 2 cups Cherry tomatoes
- 1 Red bell pepper
- 0.5 Red onion
- 0.5 cup Fresh basil leaves
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic glaze
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the baguette into 1/2-inch thick diagonal slices (about 12 pieces) and arrange them on a baking sheet.
Brush each slice lightly with 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
Bake the baguette slices for 6-8 minutes or until lightly golden and crisp. Remove from the oven and set aside.
While the baguette toasts, finely mince the garlic cloves. Set aside.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Dice the red bell pepper and half of the red onion, then add them to the skillet. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until slightly charred and softened.
Quarter the cherry tomatoes and toss them into the skillet. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, then remove the skillet from the heat.
In a mixing bowl, combine the sautéed vegetables, minced garlic, chopped fresh basil leaves, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.
Spoon the mixture onto the toasted baguette slices, evenly distributing the topping.
Drizzle each piece with a small amount of balsamic glaze for added flavor.
Serve immediately and enjoy the bold, spicy flavors of this Voodoo Bruschetta!
