Roasted Red Peppers and Cherry Tomatoes With Ricotta

This roasted red pepper and cherry tomato salad with ricotta is a vibrant celebration of Mediterranean flavours. By roasting the peppers until tender and slightly charred, you achieve a deep sweetness that pairs beautifully with the salty punch of anchovies and olives. This heart-healthy dish is packed with antioxidants from the peppers and tomatoes, while the fresh herb oil provides a bright, aromatic finish that elevates the simple ingredients.

Ideal as a light vegetarian-friendly lunch or an impressive starter for a summer dinner party, this recipe is as nutritious as it is beautiful. Serve it on a large platter in the centre of the table with some crusty sourdough bread to mop up the juices and basil oil. The combination of creamy ricotta and zesty vegetables makes it a sophisticated yet effortless choice for any occasion.

How to make Roasted Red Peppers and Cherry Tomatoes With Ricotta

Preheat oven to 191°C. Place peppers, skin side down, in a shallow baking dish and top with anchovies and garlic. Tear 1/4 cup basil leaves over top, season with kosher salt and black pepper, and drizzle with 2 tablespoons oil. Bake until peppers are tender but still hold their shape and are slightly charred around edges, 35–45 minutes. Let cool.

Meanwhile, blend remaining 3/4 cup basil and remaining 1/3 cup oil in a blender until smooth; season basil oil with kosher salt and black pepper.

Arrange peppers on a platter. Top with tomatoes, ricotta, olives, and more basil, then drizzle with basil oil and season with sea salt and black pepper.
