Follow these simple steps to create delicious Roasted Pepper Crostini:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).

2. Prepare the Peppers: Cut the bell peppers in half, remove seeds, and place them cut-side down on a baking sheet.

3. Roast the Peppers: Drizzle the peppers with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the skins are blistered and charred.

4. Cool and Peel: Once roasted, remove from the oven. Allow the peppers to cool, then peel off the charred skin.

5. Slice Peppers: Cut the peeled peppers into strips. Place them in a bowl and add minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix well.

6. Prepare the Crostini: While the peppers cool, slice the baguette into thin rounds. Arrange on another baking sheet.

7. Brush with Olive Oil: Brush each slice of bread with the remaining olive oil.

8. Toast the Baguette: Place the oiled baguette slices in the oven for about 5-7 minutes or until lightly toasted and golden.

9. Assemble the Crostini: Top each toasted bread slice with the roasted pepper mixture.

10. Garnish: Add fresh basil leaves on top and drizzle with balsamic glaze if desired.

11. Serve Immediately: These crostinis are best served warm, just after assembling, to ensure the bread remains crisp.
