Notes
For a vegan option: This recipe is naturally vegan, so feel free to enjoy it as is!
To get the most flavor from your peppers, feel free to roast them yourself or buy jarred roasted peppers for convenience. If you’re looking for a spicier kick, consider adding diced jalapeños or a sprinkle of chili flakes.
For storage, keep the topping separate from the toasted bread to prevent sogginess. The bruschetta is best served fresh, but leftovers can be enjoyed the next day, just be sure to store in an airtight container.
