How to Make It
Step 1

Preheat the oven to 200°C conventional oven/ 180°C fan-forced (400° Fahrenheit/Gas 6). Line a baking tray with non-stick baking paper.

Step 2

Place the breadcrumb into a mixing bowl. Stir in the garlic, mint and half of the olive oil. Add extra olive oil, if required. The mixture should be moist. Add sea salt to taste and toss well to combine, then set aside.

Step 3

Arrange the capsicum (peppers) over base of baking dish, overlapping slightly and drizzle over the remaining olive oil. Season with sea salt and toss with your hands to combine. Bake for 30 minutes or until capsicum pieces are tender and lightly browned, then remove from the oven.

Step 4

Sprinkle the breadcrumbs in an even layer over the capsicum (peppers). Drizzle with extra olive oil and bake for a further 5 minutes. Serve immediately – buon appetito.
