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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).

Step 2

Place the red bell peppers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 3

Roast the peppers in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, turning them halfway through, until the skins are charred and blistered.

Step 4

While the peppers roast, mince the garlic cloves and set them aside.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Peel the skins off the roasted peppers, remove the seeds and stems, and slice the peppers into thin strips.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the pepper mixture.

Step 9

Slice the baguette into thin rounds and toast them lightly in the oven or on a skillet until golden and crisp.

Step 10

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.
