Bruschetta, typically made with garden-fresh tomatoes, is a popular appetizer or snack during the summer months. Of course, you don't have to only enjoy bruschetta during the summer! When fresh tomatoes aren’t available or you’re looking to prepare a unique alternative, try this Simple Bell Pepper Bruschetta Recipe which uses bell peppers instead of tomatoes.
While this Bell Pepper Bruschetta recipe uses red and green peppers, but feel free to use any colorful combination you desire. You can also consider adding a small quantity of spicier peppers for an extra kick!

These sound so good and healthy! This would be good with tortilla chips too.

I have two sisters who love green peppers and would love to have this recipe. I am going to email them this blog post so they can get the recipe themselves.

We were just having a conversation about bell peppers last night. My mom said she could eat them without anything else. I'm sure she'd like this bruschetta!

This is a different take on bruschetta. I'm going to have to make this for me and my mother-in-law for the Super Bowl, the hubs is unfortunately allergic to green peppers
