Make simple, delicious toasted baguette slices (crostini) for soups, salads, dips, and snacks. Just brush with olive oil and bake until golden brown.

Ingredients
- 1 baguette sliced on the bias into 1/4-inch slices (about 20 slices, see note 1)
- 1/4 cup olive oil (see note 2)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Arrange baguette slices in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet.
- Brush the slices evenly with olive oil. Bake until lightly toasted, about 15 minutes.
Notes
- Baguette: I recommend using a crusty French baguette, but a fluffier Italian baguette will work, too.
- Olive oil: 4 tablespoons butter may be substituted for the olive oil.
- Yield: 1 (1-pound) baguette will yield about 20 slices of baguette (depending on how thick you cut them).
- Storage: Store cut, un-toasted baguette slices in a plastic bag at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight at room temperature before brushing with olive oil and toasting.
- Make ahead: Toast the crostini up to 3 hours ahead and store covered at room temperature.
- Garlic twist: For a hint of garlic flavor (especially delicious with bruschetta), gently rub one side of each cooled crostini with a clove of peeled garlic (plan on 2 cloves per baguette).
