Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Cherry tomatoes
- 10 leaves Fresh basil leaves
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Balsamic vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 small loaf Whole-grain baguette
- 1 can Non-stick spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice the whole-grain baguette into 12 thin slices, about 1 cm thick each.
Lightly spray both sides of the baguette slices with non-stick spray to keep them low-calorie and arrange them on the baking sheet.
Toast the baguette slices in the oven for about 6-8 minutes, or until crispy and lightly golden. Remove and set aside to cool.
Meanwhile, finely chop the cherry tomatoes and transfer them to a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Mince the garlic cloves finely and add them to the bowl with the cherry tomatoes.
Chop the fresh basil leaves into small pieces and combine them with the tomatoes and garlic.
Drizzle the olive oil and balsamic vinegar over the tomato mixture and season with sea salt and black pepper. Mix everything gently until combined.
Spoon the tomato mixture evenly onto the toasted baguette slices, spreading it out so each piece is well-covered.
Serve immediately as a delicious low-calorie appetizer or healthy snack.
