Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 baguette, thinly sliced on the bias
- Extra-virgin olive oil (for brushing)
- Flaky sea salt, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (190°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for perfect crisping.
- Prepare the baguette slices: Arrange the thinly sliced baguette pieces in a single layer on the air fryer basket without overlapping. Brush both sides of each slice generously with extra-virgin olive oil to help them crisp evenly.
- Cook the crostini: Place the basket in the air fryer and cook for 5-6 minutes. Watch carefully to achieve a golden brown and crispy texture without burning.
- Add finishing touch: Remove the crostini immediately from the air fryer and sprinkle them with flaky sea salt while still warm to enhance flavor.
- Serve or store: Serve crostini right away for optimal crispiness, or let them cool completely before storing to maintain texture.
Notes
- For best results, slice the baguette thinly and evenly.
- You can customize crostini by adding toppings such as tomato bruschetta, cheese, or garlic butter.
- Store cooled crostini in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- Keep an eye on the crostini while air frying to avoid burning as air fryer models vary.
- Extra-virgin olive oil can be substituted with any light flavored oil if preferred.
