Best Light Tasty Artichoke Crostini Recipes

ARTICHOKE-PARMESAN CROSTINI

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Make crostini: Brush baguette slices on both sides with a total of 1 tablespoon oil; season with salt and pepper. Place on a baking sheet, and bake, turning over once, until golden, 10 to 12 minutes. Cool.
• Meanwhile, make topping: Finely chop artichokes, and combine in a bowl with Parmesan, parsley, and remaining tablespoon oil.
• Dividing evenly, spoon topping onto crostini, and garnish with additional Parmesan, if desired.

CHEESY ARTICHOKE CROSTINI

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Place the baguette slices on the lined baking sheet. Bake until starting to crisp but not totally toasted, about 5 minutes.
• In a mixing bowl, stir together the cheeses, parsley, lemon zest and anchovy paste. Spread 1 tablespoon of the mixture onto the center of each baguette slice, being sure to leave a border of clean bread surrounding the cheese (it will spread as it melts in the oven). Place an artichoke heart in the center of each and set back on the baking sheet. Sprinkle about 1/2 teaspoon of grated Parmesan over each artichoke heart.
• Bake until the Parmesan is melted, about 10 minutes. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350F. Line sheet pan with parchment paper.
• In a food processor, add the artichokes to the bowl and pulse until finely chopped, not pureed. Pour into a large mixing bowl.
• Add the garlic, olives, capers and 1/3 C parsley to the food processor bowl. Pulse until finely chopped, about the same size as the artichokes. Pour into the large mixing bowl with the artichokes.
• In a small bowl, whip the lemon juice and olive oil into an emulsion. Pour over the artichoke mixture. Add the sea salt, adjust to taste. If using pepper flakes, add them now. Mix well.
• Cut the baguette into 1/2" pieces on the bias. Brush each piece with olive oil. Bake crostini until toasty and golden, about 8-10 minutes, turning the toasts over 1/2 way through baking. Spread artichoke mixture on top of each piece and garnish with optional parmesan cheese, the remaining parsley and a light pinch of sea salt.
• Store in a lidded container for up to two weeks in the refrigerator.
