Ingredients
Instructions
Plain Crostini
- Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C). Slice the baguette at a diagonal into 1/2-inch slices.
- Step 2
Line the baguette slices cut-side up on a sheet pan. It's ok if they touch a bit on the edges. Using a pastry brush, lightly brush both sides of the toasts with olive oil. Season with a few pinches of salt, to taste.
- Step 3
Bake the crostini for 8-12 minutes, until they're golden brown and toasty. Cool completely and enjoy!
Garlic Crostini
- Step 4
If you want to make garlic crostini, start by slicing a couple of cloves of garlic in half. Right after the the they come out of the oven, rub both sides of the crostini with the cut side of the garlic.
- Step 5
Place them back in the warm oven for about 1 more minute if you want to tone down the spiciness of the raw garlic a bit.
