Ingredients

• 4 large red bell peppers
• 2 tablespoons capers
• 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 0.5 teaspoons sea salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 medium loaf baguette

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).

Step 2

Place the red bell peppers on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until the skins are slightly charred and blistered, turning occasionally to ensure even roasting.

Step 3

Remove the peppers from the oven and place them in a large bowl. Cover with plastic wrap or place a plate over the bowl to trap the steam. Let it sit for 10 minutes to loosen the skins.

Step 4

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

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix the extra virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, minced garlic cloves, sea salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 6

Arrange the roasted red pepper strips on a serving plate. Drizzle the olive oil mixture over the peppers.

Step 7

Scatter the capers evenly over the peppers and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley.

Step 8

Slice the baguette into thin rounds and toast them lightly if desired. Serve the red bell peppers with the baguette slices on the side.
