While the garlic is roasting, roast the red bell pepper in the oven for 25-30 minutes until the skin is wrinkled. Peel, seed, and chop.
Slice the baguette, brush with olive oil, and toast in the oven for 5-7 minutes until golden brown.
Once cooled, squeeze the roasted garlic into a mixing bowl, mash, and mix with the chopped red pepper. Season with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Spoon the garlic and red pepper mixture onto the toasted baguette slices and garnish with extra olive oil and herbs if desired.
