Roasted Tomato Crostini with Olive Tapenade Recipe

Name: Roasted Tomato Crostini with Olive Tapenade
Prep time: 20 min
Cook time: 155 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 10 servings
Cuisine: Mediterranean
Ingredients: 5 plum tomatoes; 10 servings olive oil; 10 servings sea salt; 10 servings course pepper; 2 garlic cloves; 10 basil leaves; 2 cups kalamata olives; 10 servings sprinkling of parmigiano; 1 baguette

This crostini brings together sweet, slow-roasted tomatoes with a bright, briny olive tapenade, all piled onto crisp toasted baguette slices. The tomatoes roast until they're deeply caramelized, then cool down to room temperature, which takes a few hours. While they're cooling, you'll whip up a quick tapenade with Kalamata olives, garlic, and fresh basil. It's a simple appetizer that balances rich flavors with a satisfying crunch.
