Ingredients

1 - baguette
2 tablespoons - olive oil
salt
2–3 clove - fresh garlic

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C). Slice the baguette at a diagonal into 1/2-inch slices.
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.
Bake the crostini for 8-12 minutes, until they're golden brown and toasty. Cool completely and enjoy!
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.
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.
