Ingredients

• 4 whole Red bell peppers
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 2 minced Garlic cloves
• 4 whole French bread rolls
• 1 cup Mozzarella cheese
• 8 leaves Basil leaves

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).

Step 2

Slice the red bell peppers in half, removing the seeds and stems.

Step 3

Place the pepper halves cut-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil.

Step 4

Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the peppers and roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the skins are charred and wrinkled.

Step 5

Once the peppers are roasted, remove them from the oven and let them cool for about 5 minutes. Then, peel off the charred skins and slice the peppers into thin strips.

Step 6

In a small bowl, combine the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, black pepper, Italian seasoning, and minced garlic. Mix well and set aside.

Step 7

Slice the French bread rolls in half, lengthwise, and place them on a baking sheet, cut-side up.

Step 8

Brush the seasoned olive oil mixture generously over the open faces of the bread rolls.

Step 9

Top the bottom half of each roll with roasted red pepper strips, shredded mozzarella cheese, and 2 basil leaves per sandwich.

Step 10

Place the sandwiches under the broiler for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 11

Drizzle a small amount of balsamic glaze on top of the filling, then cap each sandwich with the top half of the roll.

Step 12

Serve warm and enjoy your Roasted Red Pepper Subs!
