Tips:
- Choose ripe and flavorful red bell peppers. Roasting intensifies their sweetness and smokiness, making them the perfect base for these bites.
- Don't overcrowd the baking sheet. Give the peppers plenty of space so they can roast evenly and get nice and caramelized.
- Use a food processor to quickly and easily chop the peppers and basil. This will save you time and energy.
- If you don't have a food processor, finely chop the peppers and basil by hand. Just be sure to chop them very finely so that they blend well with the other ingredients.
- Season the bites generously with salt and pepper. This will help to enhance the flavors of the other ingredients.
- Don't overcook the bites. They should be cooked through but still have a slight crunch.
- Serve the bites immediately, or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
