Instructions
-
Preheat the Oven: Begin by positioning the oven rack in the upper section and preheating your oven to 450°F (232°C).
-
Slice the Bread: With a sharp bread knife, cut the French baguette diagonally into slices approximately 1/2 inch thick to ensure a delightful crunch.
-
Brush with Olive Oil: Lightly brush both sides of each slice with extra virgin olive oil, then arrange them on a baking sheet for even toasting.
-
Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake the slices, turning them once until they are lightly golden. Keep a close eye on them; you want them to be crisp but not hard.
-
Garlic Rub: Once out of the oven, take the garlic clove and rub it over the warm crostini to infuse them with a lovely garlic flavor.
-
Top as Desired: These crostini serve as a versatile base, ready to be adorned with various toppings such as fresh herbs, anchovy spreads, olives, artichokes, or ricotta cheese—let your creativity shine!
Enjoy your deliciously healthy Crostini, perfect for any occasion!
