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)

Directions

Step 1

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a small saucepan over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the minced garlic and chopped onion. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until aromatic and the onion becomes translucent.

Step 3

Pour in the crushed tomatoes and stir to combine with the garlic-onion mixture.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Meanwhile, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet or on a grill pan.

Step 6

Lightly toast the gluten-free bread slices for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden and crispy.

Step 7

Once the tomato sauce has thickened, stir in the fresh basil leaves. Taste and adjust the seasoning, if necessary.

Step 8

If using, sprinkle 1 tablespoon of nutritional yeast into the sauce for a cheesy depth of flavor and stir well.

Step 9

Place the toasted gluten-free bread slices on a plate, and spoon the savory tomato sauce generously over each slice.

Step 10

Serve warm, garnished with additional fresh basil or a drizzle of olive oil, if desired.
