  • Cook Time: 15 min
  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 10-12 crostini 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 T olive oil
  • 1 baguette, sliced into 1/2-inch thick crostini rounds
  • 1 T Earth Balance, organic
  • 2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 head of red cabbage, julienned into bite-sized shards
  • coarse salt & black pepper
  • 1 avocado, pit removed and scored
  • 2 red jalapenos, sliced thin
  • 1/4 C cilantro leaves, lightly packed
  • 1 lime, for juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350.
  2. To prep the crostini: Brush baking sheet with thin layer of oil and assemble sliced baguettes evenly on top, then brush tops of bread with a little oil. Bake for 5-7 minutes until slightly toasted—you want them firm and crispy yet soft. Remove from oven and set aside.
  3. To char the cabbage: Heat skillet over medium high heat. Add the Earth Balance to the skillet until it melts and begins to brown. Add garlic and cabbage shards and cook for 2 minutes to char, adding a pinch of salt and pepper. Remove from the heat and set aside.
  4. To assemble: Smear 1 teaspoon of avocado onto each crostini, then top with the charred cabbage mixture, sliced jalapeño, cilantro sprig and a spritz of lime juice.
