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.

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 go with 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.

Can I use green bell peppers?

Sure, just keep in mind they have a stronger flavor than other colors.

You could technically use any color of mild bell peppers but for a pretty presentation, I prefer a variety of colors like yellow, orange, and red.

 

Can this be made in advance?

Yes! This bruschetta can be prepared up to 2 days in advance. 

For best flavor, allow time for the mixture to return to room temperature prior to serving.
