Roasted Capsicum Toast Recipe

Roasted Capsicum Toast Recipe

This roasted Capsicum Toast Recipe is one of my hubby's favorite weekend brunch recipes. We usually get fresh Sourdough which takes it to the next level, but it works well on top of toasts as well. You might use gluten free bread as well if preferred.

If possible, buy organic capsicum as it is on the dirty dozen list. Click here for more details.

In my opinion capsicums are usually underrated and overlooked. I love many types of those, including yellow bullhorn, Hungarian yellow paprika or just the plain capsicum. I think it's delicious fresh, Capsicum or bell peppers are 94% water, 5% carbohydrates, with a very little amount of protein and fat. These bright coloured vegetables are quite high in Vitamin C, Vitamin A, besides ample amounts of Vitamins B2, B6, E, niacin, folate and riboflavin. Being a good source of potassium, iron, magnesium, manganese and other macro-nutrients, capsicums can offer a host of health benefits. 

Sometimes I am reluctant to cook this deliciousness, as somehow, I don't like the peel of capsicum when cooked. Maybe that's why I love this recipe as the peel is removed. If you have a preference like me, try this dish to see.

Ingredients

6 organic capsicum mixed colors

150 g of vegan feta diced

Vinegarette

1/3 cup olive oil

3 tbsp apple cider vinegar

1/2 of red onion slides thinly

2 tbsp of oregano

1 tsp of zaatar (omit if you can't find it)

1 garlic clove, minced or 1 tsp garlic paste

Salt and pepper to taste

Your favorite bread

Instructions

Preheat oven to 220°C

Mixed ingredients for the vinegarette.

Quarter capsicums, discard seeds and membrane. Place skin up on an oven tray, roast uncovered for half an hour or until skin blisters and blackens. ( Otherwise it can't be peeled)

When ready, remove from oven and place roasted capsicum on a large chopping board. Cover with a plastic foil and place a tea towel on top to insulate it. Leave for around 20 minutes to ensure that the skin of the capsicum is separated, then peel skin away. Discard peel and slice capsicum 1 cm thick.

Mix the vinaigrette with the capsicum and the rest of the ingredients.

Toast bread. Ladle the capsicum mix on the bread and serve.

Alternatively, use fresh bread. Enjoy!
