Ingredients
- 4 large bell peppers (red, yellow, or orange)
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, thinly sliced
- 4 pieces anchovy fillets
- 2 teaspoons capers
- 6 leaves fresh basil leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Step 2
Wash and dry the bell peppers. Place them on the prepared baking sheet and roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway through, until the skins are charred and blistered on all sides.
Step 3
Remove the roasted peppers from the oven. Transfer them to a bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap or a plate. Let the peppers steam for 10 minutes to loosen the skins.
Step 4
Once cool enough to handle, peel off the charred skins and discard. Remove the stems, seeds, and inner membranes, then slice the peppers into strips about 1-inch wide.
Step 5
Arrange the pepper strips on a serving platter. Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the peppers.
Step 6
Scatter the sliced garlic, anchovy fillets (broken into small pieces), and capers over the top. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Step 7
Garnish with fresh basil leaves for a fragrant finish. Serve at room temperature with crusty bread or as a side dish. Enjoy!
