Description

With the holidays soon approaching, it's time to start thinking about appetizers to serve at your fun gatherings. These little crostini rounds are piled high with tasty roasted grapes, goat cheese, pecans and kalamata olives.

Ingredients

• 16 oz. baguette
• 2 c. seedless red grapes
• 1 ½ T. chopped fresh rosemary, divided
• 1 T. balsamic vinegar
• 2 T. olive oil, divided
• 1 c. pitted kalamata olives
• 1 c. pecan halves
• 5 oz. goat cheese
• 1/4 t. freshly ground black pepper
• 1 -2 t. honey

Steps

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2. Place grapes, olives and pecans on a baking sheet.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together vinegar, 1 T. oil, and 1 T. rosemary. Drizzle vinegar mixture onto grapes, pecans and olives; use hands to toss and rub in, making sure to keep grapes to one side of baking sheet and separate from olives and pecans since they need to cook longer. Place in oven; bake for 8 – 10 minutes until pecans are toasted, being careful to not let them burn, since they burn easily.
