Description

This roasted grape crostini is a beautifully balanced appetizer that combines jammy, wine-roasted grapes with creamy whipped ricotta on crisp toasted bread. The result is a sweet and savory bite with a touch of brightness from lemon and herbs, making it perfect for entertaining. Elegant but approachable, this crostini is ideal for mahjong nights, Galentine’s gatherings, or anytime you want a crowd-pleasing starter that feels a little special without being complicated to make.

Ingredients

3 cups seedless red grapes
2 Tbsp. red wine
6 sprigs fresh thyme
1/2 tsp. kosher salt
1/4 tsp. black pepper
3 Tbsp. olive oil
1 baguette, sliced ½ inch thick (about 24 slices)
1 1/2 cups ricotta cheese
Grated zest of 1 lemon
Flaky salt, for topping

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 400˚F. Toss the grapes with the red wine, thyme sprigs, kosher salt, pepper and 1 tablespoon olive oil in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Roast until the grapes are beginning to burst and are wrinkled and juicy, about 25 minutes. Remove the thyme sprigs.
2
Preheat the broiler. Arrange the bread slices on a baking sheet, brush with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and broil until toasted, 1 to 2 minutes per side.
3
Spread the ricotta on the bread (about 1 tablespoon per slice). Top with the roasted grapes, lemon zest and flaky salt.
