Keto Avocado Crostini
This recipe for avocado crostini starts with a french baguette. The bread is sliced, brushed with a little olive oil, then baked to a crispy golden brown. Next comes the avocado – since the avocado is really the star of this recipe, you’ll want to make sure you have a perfectly ripe specimen.
The avocado is thinly sliced and layered onto the crostini. I topped the crostini with a tomato, olive oil and herb mixture. I did a combination of red and yellow cherry tomatoes because I loved the color contrast, but you could use a single variety if you prefer. This recipe is a great way to showcase all those colorful heirloom tomatoes that are starting to pop up at the farmers market.
