Garlic Herb Toasted Baguette Slices
Crispy and flavorful toasted baguette slices infused with garlic and herbs, perfect as a side dish or appetizer.
Ingredients
- 1 Baguette
- 1/4 cup Olive Oil
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Fresh Parsley
- 1 teaspoon Fresh Rosemary
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
- 1/8 teaspoon Black Pepper
Preparation
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice the baguette into ½-inch thick rounds. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped rosemary, salt, and pepper.
Toasting the Baguette
Arrange the baguette slices on a baking sheet in a single layer. Brush each slice with the garlic herb mixture, ensuring even coverage. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on the bread to prevent burning.
Serving
Remove the toasted baguette slices from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Serve warm as a side dish to soups, salads, or pasta, or as a base for appetizers like bruschetta.

FAQ
-
Can I use dried herbs instead of fresh?
Yes, you can use dried herbs. Use about 1 teaspoon of dried parsley and ½ teaspoon of dried rosemary. Keep in mind that fresh herbs offer a brighter flavor. -
How do I store leftover toasted baguette slices?
Store leftover toasted baguette slices in an airtight container at room temperature. They will lose some of their crispness, so it's best to consume them within 1-2 days. Reheat in the oven or toaster oven to restore crispness. -
Can I add cheese to these?
Absolutely! A sprinkle of Parmesan cheese during the last few minutes of baking adds a delicious, savory element.
