These simple baguette slices get perfectly crisp in the air fryer. They are designed to be a blank canvas for your favorite toppings. Find out how to achieve the perfect crunch in minutes.
Ingredients
- 1 French baguette
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- pinch salt
Steps
- 01Slice the baguette into 1/2-inch thick rounds. Straight cuts, not diagonal (that's the difference between crostini and bruschetta toasts).
- 02Brush or spray both sides lightly with olive oil. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt.
- 03Ready for the air fryer.
- 04Let cool for 2 minutes after cooking. They crisp up further as they cool.
Crostini are a vehicle, not the main event. Keep them plain so they don't compete with whatever you're putting on top. Ricotta and honey works. So does smoked salmon and cream cheese. So does just butter. The point is a perfectly crispy, neutral base.
