✨✨Guys, I've been feeling some serious Summer vibes the past few days. It's finally warm enough to pull out the shorts and flip-flops and I'm loving it.✨✨

✨✨I can’t think of anything more summery than strawberries and basil. I think these crostini are going to change the way I look at appetizers. They are so easy and the sky is the limit as far as what you can top them with. This is a pretty old recipe from the blog but I was feeling like it would be perfect for today.✨✨
--Roasted Strawberry, Basil, & Cream Crostini--
Who says appetizers have to be complicated? These fresh and delicious snacks are sure to be a hit at your next dinner party.
Prep Time 25 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Total Time 45 minutes
Servings 8 - 12 servings
--Ingredients--
1 pint fresh strawberries about 4 cups hulled and thinly sliced
1 tablespoon olive oil
salt & pepper
1 french baguette cut into ½ inch slices
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 ounces vegan "cream cheese" or vegan "brie"
handful of fresh basil leaves torn
--Instructions--
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 C) and line a baking tray with foil, then brush with olive oil. Lay strawberries out on pan in an even layer and bake for 15 to 20 minutes until berries are soft, dark, and look slightly shriveled.
While berries are in oven, line a separate pan with parchment or foil and brush baguette slices with oil. Place on pan and sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Bake for 6 - 8 minutes until edges are lightly toasted.
If using "brie", cut into thin slices and place on top of each crostini while still warm or if using cream cheese spread with a knife. Then top with berries and basil and serve.
