Ingredients

Servings

Baguette

  • 1 small baguette cut into 12, 1/2” rounds
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 garlic clove end sliced off

Whipped Ricotta

  • 3/4 cup pumpkin puree
  • 3/4 cup whole milk ricotta
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Arugula

  • 2 cups baby arugula
  • 1/4 cup toasted pepitas
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon Stone ground mustard
  • Pinch of salt
  • Pinch of black pepper
  • red chili flakes for serving

Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 425˚F. Place the pieces of sliced baguette on a sheet pan and brush with olive oil. Bake until lightly toasted, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from oven and rub each piece with the cut side of the garlic.
  2. While the bread is baking, combine the ricotta with the pumpkin puree, maple syrup, salt, and pepper. Whip until mostly smooth. Alternatively, if the ricotta is a bit gritty, whip in a blender.
  3. Place the arugula and pepitas in a bowl. In a small jar, combine ingredients for dressing and shake until combined. Pour over the arugula and toss until the leaves are coated.
  4. Assemble the crostini by spreading the ricotta mixture on each piece of crostini. Top each with a bit of salad and finish with a sprinkle of chili flakes.
