Note
For extra crispiness, you can broil the peppers for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking.
Dukkah is an Egyptian spice-nut blend; you can substitute with a mix of crushed nuts, seeds, and spices if unavailable.
To prevent the avocado from browning, toss the slices in a little lemon or lime juice before adding to the dish.
This dish is best served immediately to enjoy the contrast between the warm peppers and cool, crisp toppings.
