Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preparation: Preheat the oven to 400° F and prepare two baking sheets with tin foil and cooking spray.
- Tomato Mixture: Add the tomatoes to one of the baking sheets and drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast for 18-20 minutes and then drizzle with balsamic vinegar after coming out of the oven.
- Bread Combination: Distribute the baguette slices onto the second baking sheet and drizzle them with olive oil and salt. Toast in the oven for 1-2 minutes on each slide, until slightly golden. Rub the raw cut side of the garlic clove over the hot baguette slices.
- Assembly: Distribute the tomato mixture over each slice and garnish with basil.
Expert Tips
- Keep the tomatoes whole. Slicing them helps prevent them from bursting when you take a bite, but if you’re really short on time, don’t worry about slicing them in half—it’ll taste just as delish!
- Flip the slices. We suggest toasting both sides of the baguette slices to ensure both sides are toasted and golden!
- Take your time. It can feel a bit tricky to rub the baguette slices with the fresh garlic cloves, but if you do it slowly you’ll likely find you have a better grip and more oils from the garlic will extract onto the slices.
- Chopping basil is easy. The easiest way to chop basil is to take a few pieces, roll them into a log shape and then start slicing!
Alternative Ingredients
- RICOTTA: For a smooth and creamy addition, consider spreading some ricotta cheese on the crostini slices before adding the tomato mixture.
- MOZZARELLA: For a cheesy texture, add some slices of basic mozzarella cheese to the baguette slices in the last couple of minutes of baking for some melty cheese that’ll be delicious with those roasted cherry tomatoes!
- BURRATA: If you’re feeling fancy, add some burrata cheese to each slice before you add the tomatoes.
