Roasted Tomato & White Bean Crostini
Having company over this weekend? If so, you might want to whip up this delicious Roasted Tomato & White Bean Crostini. It’s a simple recipe that tastes delicious and utilizes fresh tomatoes, which are at their best right now!
This dish uses a few pantry staples, like olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper, and canned beans. (I used Pastene’s White Kidney Beans.) Many of us who are gluten-free also keep gluten-free baguettes on hand … don’t we? Or is that just me? You can also make your own baguettes with my tried-and-true gluten-free French bread recipe.
Add in a couple fresh items – cherry tomatoes and basil – and this dish comes together quickly and effortlessly.
If you’ve never made crostini before, trust me when I say it’s super simple and is a great throw-together appetizer to serve to last-minute guests or at parties you’ve had planned for weeks! It’s fancy enough but not pretentious, it doesn’t cost much, and it’s something that pleases most peoples’ palates.
