Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the baguette into 1/4-inch thick rounds, creating about 16 slices. Lay the slices flat on a baking sheet.
Brush both sides of each bread slice with olive oil, then sprinkle lightly with salt.
Bake the bread slices for 10-12 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden and crisp. Remove and let cool slightly.
While the croutons bake, slice the roasted red peppers into thin strips.
Spread a generous layer of chèvre on each toasted baguette slice.
Top each crostini with a few strips of roasted red pepper.
Drizzle a small amount of honey over the red peppers on each crouton.
Sprinkle a pinch of chopped parsley and a light dusting of black pepper on top for garnish.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 2 hours before serving.
