Prepare the peppers: Place the quartered red bell peppers on a baking sheet. Roast under a hot broiler (grill) or in a very hot oven (220°C / 425°F) for 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until the skins are blackened and blistered. Transfer the hot peppers to a bowl, cover tightly with plastic wrap, and let steam for 15 minutes. Once cooled enough to handle, peel off the blackened skins, discard the seeds and membranes, and set aside the roasted pepper flesh.

Fry the potatoes: Heat a generous amount of olive oil (about 1/2 inch or 1 cm deep) in a large frying pan over medium-high heat (180°C / 350°F). Fry the potato slices in batches, without overcrowding the pan, until golden brown and tender, about 5-7 minutes per batch. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fried potatoes to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Season lightly with salt.
⏱️ 20 minutes - 3
Fry the eggplant: Add more olive oil to the same pan if needed, maintaining medium-high heat (180°C / 350°F). Fry the eggplant slices in batches until golden brown and slightly softened, about 3-5 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels and season lightly with salt.
⏱️ 15 minutes - 4
Prepare the tomato sauce: In a small saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat (175°C / 350°F). Add the sliced garlic and sauté until fragrant and lightly golden, about 1-2 minutes. Be careful not to burn the garlic. Pour in the crushed tomatoes, season with salt and pepper, and simmer gently for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Set aside.
⏱️ 15 minutes - 5
Assemble the Tumbet: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Lightly grease a baking dish (approximately 9x13 inches or 23x33 cm). Arrange a layer of fried potato slices in the bottom of the dish, overlapping slightly. Top with a layer of fried eggplant slices, followed by a layer of roasted red pepper strips. Repeat the layers until all vegetables are used, finishing with a layer of peppers.
⏱️ 10 minutes - 6
Bake the Tumbet: Pour the prepared tomato sauce evenly over the layered vegetables. Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbling and the top is slightly golden.
⏱️ 40-45 minutes - 7
Rest and Serve: Let the Tumbet rest for at least 10 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to settle and makes it easier to slice. Serve warm or at room temperature.
