1 large red bell pepper, halved and seeded
4 garlic cloves, unpeeled
3 tbsp olive oil, divided
⅓ cup raw almonds
1 slice crusty bread (about 1 oz), torn into pieces
1 tsp smoked paprika
¼ tsp cayenne pepper

½ tsp salt, plus more to taste
Chef's tip
Season to taste - salt substitutes can taste bitter in larger amounts, so start with less.
¼ tsp black pepper

Instructions

1
Heat the broiler to high and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Arrange the tomato halves (cut side up), bell pepper halves (cut side down), and unpeeled garlic cloves on the sheet. Drizzle with 1 tbsp of the olive oil. Broil 6 inches from the element until the pepper skin is blistered and blackened in spots and the tomatoes are softened and charred at the edges, about 12–15 minutes.
2
Transfer the bell pepper halves to a bowl, cover tightly with plastic wrap, and let steam for 10 minutes — this loosens the skin. Peel and discard the charred skin. Squeeze the garlic cloves out of their skins and set aside with the tomatoes and peeled pepper.
