Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350° F. Slice baguette into 1/4 inch slices and brush slightly with olive oil. Place on a baking sheet and quickly toast in the oven for about 10 minutes. Brush red peppers with olive oil and roast in a heated oven until outer skin chars and can be easily removed. Remove the charred outer skin once peppers have cooled enough to handle. Dice into 1/4 inch pieces. While peppers are roasting, you can also be roasting the garlic! In a piece of aluminum foil, place the garlic cloves in olive oil and fold up to create a pouch. Heat in oven for 10-15 minutes or until garlic has become soft and tender. In a mixing bowl, combine beans, red peppers, garlic, balsamic vinegar, rosemary, and thyme. Mix well. Taste and season with salt. Now, you can either top the baguette with the mixture as is OR I like to blend half of the mixture in a blender until nice and creamy. I then add the creamed beans and peppers back with the other beans, so I have some whole beans remaining in the resulting mixture. Once the baguette have been topped with the bruschetta, toast in an 350° F oven for about 10 minutes. Keep an eye on the bread, you want them to be toasty, but not burnt! Sprinkle with fresh parsley, serve warm and enjoy!

Tips:
- Choose ripe red peppers: Look for peppers that are deep red in color and have smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid peppers that are green or have bruises or wrinkles.
- Roast the peppers properly: Roasting the peppers brings out their natural sweetness and flavor. To roast the peppers, place them on a baking sheet and broil them for 10-15 minutes, or until the skins are blistered and charred. Once the peppers are roasted, place them in a paper bag and let them steam for 10 minutes. This will help to loosen the skins.
- Use high-quality bread: The bread is the foundation of bruschetta, so it's important to use a good quality bread. Look for a bread that is crusty on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside.
- Toast the bread properly: Toasting the bread will help to bring out its flavor and make it crispy. You can toast the bread in a toaster, under the broiler, or in a skillet.
- Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the bruschetta will taste. Use fresh red peppers, cannellini beans, basil, and tomatoes.
