Roasted Tomato Crostini with Olive Tapenade

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.
