Easy Bruschetta Recipe

I love bruschetta for its simplicity and versatility.

Many classic recipes call for tomatoes but the beauty of bruschetta is you really can make it out of pretty much whatever vegetables you have on hand.

The name “bruschetta” actually refers to the preparation of the bread (grilled or toasted, then rubbed with garlic, drizzled with olive oil, and sprinkled with salt).

Typically, I like to serve bruschetta toppings with just slices of grilled French or other rustic bread as an appetizer, but it would also make a great addition to an antipasto platter of cheeses, olives, and vegetables.

Recipes for Using Extra Peppers

We have had an unusually large amount of bell peppers lately, so I’ve been taking every opportunity to use them up:

Sweet and Spicy Mini Peppers – Tasty on sandwiches or as a quick snack right out of the jar.

Vegan Sausage and Cheddar Stuffed Mini Peppers – Simple and savory. Perfect for entertaining.

Spicy Vegan Sausage and Peppers Pasta – A classic flavor combination that is always a hit in this house.

So, after all that, we were down to just four peppers and needed something to accompany a simple pasta dinner. This bell pepper topping served over toasted baguette slices was just what I was looking for.

Carbs on carbs, because that’s how we roll.

Slices of bread topped with vibrant bell pepper bruschetta and fresh herbs, served alongside a glass bowl of the same roasted pepper mixture on a white plate.

Ingredients for Sweet Bell Pepper Bruschetta

You will need the following:

  • Bell Peppers – Yellow, orange, and red peppers are preferred for this recipe.
  • Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • White Balsamic Vinegar
  • Capers
  • Italian Flat-Leaf Parsley

Can I use green bell peppers?

  • Yes, but …keep in mind they have a stronger flavor than other colors. You can technically use any color of peppers, but for a pretty presentation, I prefer a mix of yellow, orange, and red.

How to Make Sweet Bell Pepper Bruschetta

STEP ONE: Roast the Peppers.

  • Set oven to broil. Coat bell pepper halves with the olive oil. Place cut side down onto a sheet pan. Broil until lightly charred.
  • Allow peppers to stand until cool enough to handle then gently peel off and discard charred skins. Cut peppers into 1″ pieces.

STEP TWO: Combine the Ingredients.

  • Into a small mixing bowl, add the roasted and diced bell peppers, white balsamic vinegar, Italian flat-leaf parsley, and capers. Stir together to combine.

STEP THREE: Marinate and Serve.

  • Cover and let the bruschetta marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes and serve.

Can this be made in advance?

  • Yes! This bruschetta can be prepared up to 2 days in advance. For the best flavor, allow the mixture to return to room temperature before serving.
