Indulge in this Roasted Sweet Grape and Olive Crostini‚Äîan elegant appetizer perfect for entertaining! With roasted grapes, olives, cherry tomatoes, and creamy ricotta on toasted baguette slices. I found these delicious sweet grapes at the farmers market and had to create a fun recipe for them. The wide baking time depends on how sweet/soft your grapes are (sweeter/softer is less time). Just keep an eye on them. As soon as they pop open and release their juices they are done. I like to use Castelvetrano olives but Kalamata olives are good too. This Mediterranean-inspired dish by Chef Healthy Henry is both simple and flavorful. Try this easy crostini recipe for your next gathering!

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup grapes, seedless
1 cup olives
1 cup mixed cherry tomatoes
1 1/2 tsp chopped rosemary
1 tsp salt
1 tsp red pepper flakes
12 baguette slices, toasted
3/4 cup ricotta

Directions

Preheat Oven to 375 degrees Cut the loaf of bread on a bias into 1/2 inch rounds Arrange the slices in a single layer on a large sheet pan. Brush olive oil onto both sides of the bread.  
Bake until lightly toasted, about 7-8 minutes, flipping the bread over halfway through baking. Increase the heat to 400°F Combine olive oil, grapes, olives, tomatoes, rosemary, salt and pepper flakes in a baking dish or roasting pan. Roast until grapes are wilted and leaking juices, about 35 to 55 minutes, rolling ingredients around in pan a few times throughout roasting time to encourage even cooking.
Spread ricotta on each toast slice then top with grapes, tomatoes, olives and their pan juices. Finish with rosemary.
