Toasted Baguette Slices (Crostini)
Sliced French baguette brushed with olive oil and garlic powder and toasted in the oven is this Toasted Baguette Slices Recipe. Savory and crisp, these slices are perfect for crostini, bruschetta, salads, and soups!
Servings 20 slices
Ingredients
- 16 ounces French baguette 1 loaf
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- First, slice your baguette into ¼ inch thick slices and place the baguette slices on a rimmed, non-stick baking sheet in a single layer.
- Next, mix the olive oil and garlic powder in a small bowl. Then taking a pastry brush, brush the oil over each baguette slice. Make sure to stir the oil and garlic powder occasionally as you go to evenly reincorporate the garlic powder.
- Lastly, bake the baguette slices at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 15-20 minutes until you see the baguette slices browned to your preference. Remove from oven, cool, and enjoy!
Notes
Hint: I bake these for the full 20 minutes when I want them to be extra crispy under bruschetta or to use with dips that have a more liquid base. If you are using them as a crostini for a thick dip that doesn't have a lot of moisture baking the baguette for only 15 minutes would be perfect giving you a slightly toasted bread effect.
