Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Wash the red bell peppers, slice them in half lengthwise, remove seeds and membranes, and place pepper halves on the baking sheet skin side up.

  3. Roast peppers in the oven for 20-25 minutes until skins are charred and blistered. Remove and let cool slightly.

  4. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion and minced garlic, sauté until fragrant and translucent, about 5 minutes.

  5. Peel off charred skins from cooled peppers and chop into strips. Add to the skillet with onions and garlic.

  6. Stir in diced tomatoes, dried oregano, paprika, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Cook over medium heat for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  7. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Optionally, partially blend the mixture with an immersion blender for thicker consistency, leaving some chunks.

  8. Serve hot, garnished with fresh basil leaves.
