Finger-friendly and almost too pretty to eat, Roasted Grape Crostini is my go-to appetizer when I’m entertaining guests. This year, the Thanksgiving hosting is all mine and I could not be more excited. A little nervous, but VERY excited too. I love party planning and enjoying the jubilation. Such fun!

This appetizer comes together so simply and is the perfect preview for all of the deliciousness that is to come. Roasting the grapes concentrates the sweetness and allows the juice to reduce into a silky, sticky, divine syrup. Balance the sweet with savory, by adding  fresh rosemary, flaky sea salt and freshly ground pepper to the mix.

Ingredients

  • 1-2 baguettes (mine totaled 8 oz.)
  • 2 cups seedless red grapes, halved
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2-1 cup ricotta
  • Fresh sprigs of thyme or rosemary, sesame seeds and cracked pepper to top (optional)

Instructions 

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. 
  • In a small bowl, whisk vinegar and olive oil together. Add grapes and toss to coat. Add grapes to a small baking sheet that is lined with foil.
  • Bake for 20 minutes. While cooking, slice baguette into ⅓ inch slices (should make about 22 rounds, depending the size and amount bought). Lay the bread slices on a large baking sheet and spray tops with cooking spray.
  • Place bread slices on other rack in oven to toast at the same time as grapes, for the last 10 mins.
  • Remove grapes and bread from oven after 10 minutes and when baguette slices are lightly toasted and grapes are just starting to wrinkle and burst.
  • Spread about 1 tablespoon ricotta onto crostini and add several grape halves to each crostini. Sprinkle fresh cracked pepper and sesame seeds over crostini and garnish with thyme or rosemary. Enjoy!

Notes

feel free to stir in parsley with the ricotta.
