Heat the oil in a large skillet. add onion and bell peppers, all at once. Cook over medium-high heat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add garlic, tomato, balsamic vinegar and basil and cook 5 more minutes.
Add salt and pepper to taste.
Serve now, or refrigerate for later or freeze now.
IF SERVING NOW - Prepare the crostini toasts:
- Lay out the Italian bread slices on a cookie sheet. Lightly brush each bread with olive oil. The new silicone brushes are great. They wash up really easy.
- Put the cookie sheet under broil. Don't do anything else. Just stand there and keep checking the bread and don't let burn. It only takes a couple of minutes.
- After the toasts are lightly browned, remove from the oven. They are ready to use anytime.
- Pile high with bruschetta and serve!
- You can make ahead and keep the toasts in the refrigerator for later use too. Like, if the party is tomorrow or in a few days.

Oh my goodness, I love bell pepper and I especially love the bell pepper bruschetta crostini. This is a easy to follow recipe and a crowd pleaser. I hosted a party and had this as the appetizer and everyone raved about it. Thank you, vegan in the freezer!
