How to Make Crostini
Learn how to make crostini at home with this simple, 3-ingredient recipe! These crisp, golden little toasts are perfect to serve alongside your favorite party dips, appetizers, or on a cheeseboard!
Servings: 18 -22 pieces
Ingredients
- baguette french-style or ciabatta
- 3-4 tablespoons olive oil for brushing
- Flaky sea salt for sprinkling
- 1-2 clove garlic optional
Instructions
- PREP: Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 425ºF. Line a large baking sheet with parchment.
- SLICE: Slice the baguette on the diagonal (this gives it more surface area for toppings!) just shy of ½-inch thick slices. You can also slice them thinner but they will bake quicker (see notes.) Drizzle or brush both sides of the bread slices with olive, and sprinkle with sea salt.
- BAKE: Arrange the slices on the parchment paper in a single layer and bake for 8-11 minutes or until crispy and golden. Store leftover crostini in an airtight container for a couple of days.
Notes
- Storage: Keep leftover crostini in an airtight container at room temperature. Use within two days!
- Slices: You can slice the bread thinner than suggested if you’d like. But make sure to keep a close eye on the crostini as it will cook in closer to 6-9 minutes.
