Crostini translates as
"little toasts" in Italian. For flavor variations,
try brushing the crostini with infused oils or sprinkle with
desired dried herbs or seasonings.

trimmed and cut crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices
Extra virgin olive oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C).

sheet and generously brush with olive oil. Turn the slices over

baking sheet around in the oven halfway throught the baking time
to ensure even browning. Bake until the croutons are lightly
