Instructions

Roast the Peppers
1

a) Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.

b) Halve the peppers and discard the core and seeds. Slice into thin strips.

c) Put the peppers onto a baking tray. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat.

d) When the oven is hot, roast on the top shelf until soft and slightly charred, 14-16 mins. Once cooked, set aside and allow to cool, 5 mins.

Make the Croutons
2

a) Meanwhile, tear the ciabatta into roughly 2cm chunks. Pop the ciabatta chunks onto a baking tray in a single layer. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper and toss to coat well.

b) Bake the croutons on the middle shelf until golden, 8-10 mins, then remove from the oven and set aside to cool, 5 mins.

Assemble and Serve
3

a) While everything bakes, drain and tear the mozzarella into pieces. Halve the baby plum tomatoes.

b) In a large bowl, combine the pesto and the olive oil (see pantry for amount).

c) When you're ready to serve, add the baby leaf mix and tomatoes to the bowl and toss to coat in the pesto dressing. Divide between 2 serving bowls.

d) Top with the mozzarella pieces, roasted pepper and croutons to finish. 

Enjoy!
