Simple & Delicious Crostini Recipe

      

    Crostini is an Italian word that literally means “little toasts”.  A crostini is super easy to make from the comfort of your own home and costs a lot less than buying them from a grocery store, import store, or bakery.  Making them at home makes sense because they are so versatile too. 


 

  • 1 baguette, cut into diagonal ½” slices
  • ¼ c. extra-virgin olive oil or butter
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • 2 T. grated Parmesan cheese, optional
  • 1 T. parsley, optional
  • Salt & pepper, to taste

 


Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.

Brush each slice of your baguette with the olive oil and place the slices onto a single layer of a baking sheet.  Sprinkle the top side with salt, pepper and the Parmesan cheese.  Bake for about 6-8 minutes or until the crostini is lightly toasted.  Remove from the oven and immediately rub each slice with the garlic. Do not omit this step.   It is a game changer and you will NOT regret it.  The taste is amazing.  Serve and enjoy!

Makes about 20 slices and each slice has about 7 carbs.

These are perfect on their own as an appetizer or late night snack.  They also pair well with many of my recipes including: Cream of Turkey and Wild Rice Soup, Guacamole, Marinated Cheese & Olives, or with some Homemade Rotel Dip.
