These toasted baguette slices turn out crackly-edged and golden brown with a tender interior, brushed simply with olive oil and a touch of garlic. They work as a base for bruschetta, cheese boards, or alongside soups and dips, and come together quickly under a hot broiler or oven.

Ingredients

  • 1 baguette, cut into 1/2-inch slices
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic, peeled and halved (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F and arrange a rack in the center position.

  2. Slice the baguette into 1/2-inch rounds and arrange them in a single layer on a large baking sheet.

  3. Brush both sides of each slice lightly with olive oil.

  4. Bake until the slices are golden brown and crisp at the edges, flipping once halfway through, 8 to 10 minutes.

  5. Remove from the oven and, if using, rub the cut side of the garlic clove over the warm toasts.

  6. Season lightly with kosher salt and black pepper, then let cool slightly before serving.
