Receta de crostini fácil en 15 minutos

Ingredientes

• 1 baguette (sliced 1/2 inch slices)
• 2-3 Tablespoon extra virgin olive oil (approximately)
• kosher salt (to taste)
• Freshly ground black pepper (to taste, optional)

Preparación

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 375°F. Slice the baguette in ¼ to ½ inch thick slices, either on the bias (diagonal for more surface area) or perpendicular to the loaf of bread (straight across). A serrated knife will work best for this.

2. 2

   Spread the baguette slices on a baking sheet in an even layer. My lazy method: drizzle one side of the slices with olive oil (don’t drench them, dry areas are ok). Turn the slices over, pressing them around on the pan in the olive oil to spread the olive oil and coat the slices. Flip and do the same to both sides. Alternatively, you can brush each side of the bread with olive oil. Sprinkle the slices with salt and pepper.

3. 3

   Bake the slices for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them so they don't burn, the thinner they are, the less time they will need.

4. 4

   Serve as desired with a dip or top with toppings. Store crostini in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days; re-toast in the oven or air fryer for best results to ensure they remain crispy and not chewy if needed.
