An easy appetizer. Prep tips: The crostini and tapenade can be made a day or two ahead. Keep crostini in an airtight container at room temperature. Wait until the last minute to assemble so the toast doesn't get soggy.
Directions
- Preheat oven to 375°. Cut baguette into twelve ¼-inch-thick slices and place on a baking sheet. Brush with ½ tablespoon olive oil and bake 10-15 minutes, until golden. Remove and cool.
- Cut artichoke hearts into ¼-inch dice and set aside. Place olives, garlic, parsley, capers, and remaining 1 teaspoon olive oil in a small food processor; process until well combined. Transfer to a small bowl, add diced artichoke, and mix well. Add lemon juice, plus pepper to taste. Cover and refrigerate until 1 hour before serving.
- Bring tapenade to room temperature. Mound 1 teaspoon onto each crostini. Garnish with parsley and serve.
