Step 1
Heat 3 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, ~90 seconds.
Step 2
Add eggplant, zucchini, and bell pepper. Cook, stirring often, until edges soften and char slightly, 6–7 minutes.
Step 3
Push vegetables to the side. Add minced garlic to the empty space and cook 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 4
Stir in canned tomatoes, paprika, salt, and pepper. Simmer 5–6 minutes until sauce thickens and vegetables are tender.
Step 5
In a separate skillet, toast bread cubes in 2 tbsp olive oil over medium-high heat for 3 minutes until golden and crispy, shaking the pan often.
Step 6
Divide samfaina into bowls. Top with crispy bread cubes and a drizzle of olive oil. Serve hot.
