1
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2
Prepare the Peppers
Wash the hot banana peppers and slice them lengthwise, removing the seeds if desired for less heat.
3
Make the Sauce
In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the San Marzano tomato sauce, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for about 5 minutes.
4
Assemble the Dish
Spread a thin layer of the tomato sauce in the bottom of a baking dish. Place the prepared banana peppers cut side up in the dish. Fill each pepper with remaining sauce, then sprinkle shredded asiago cheese and shredded basil on top.
5
Bake
Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
6
Serve
Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy as an appetizer or side dish!
