For these easy asparagus crostini, we smear lightly toasted bread with ricotta cheese, pesto and roasted asparagus for a simple and quick appetizer. When you buy your asparagus, look for bunches that have thinner stalks, if you can only find thick-stalked asparagus, use a vegetable peeler to peel away the outer layer of asparagus as this can be a bit tough. You can also swap the asparagus for other roasted vegetables — we love using cauliflower or broccoli.
Ingredient:
- 1 pound fresh asparagus
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- Fresh ground black pepper
- 1 baguette, cut on diagonal into 1/2-inch slices
- 3/4 cup ricotta cheese
- 4 tablespoons basil pesto, see our homemade pesto recipe
