    Roasted Grape and Goat Cheese Crostini

    Giving grapes some time in the oven serves to elevate their natural sweetness and makes them a perfect foil for the creamy goat cheese in this delightful appetizer.

    2 cups (500 mL) seedless red grapes 4 tsp (20 mL) grapeseed oil or sunflower oil, divided 1/8 tsp (0.5 mL) salt 1/8 tsp (0.5 mL) black pepper 1 small organic (or gluten-free) whole grain baguette 3 oz (85 g) soft goat cheese 2 tsp (10 mL) finely chopped rosemary or fresh thyme 1 tsp (5 mL) lemon zest

    Preheat oven to 425 F (220 C). Toss grapes with 2 tsp (10 mL) oil, salt, and black pepper. Arrange grapes in a single layer on baking sheet. Roast until grapes have softened and darkened, about 25 minutes.

    Reduce oven temperature to 350 F (180 C). Diagonally cut baguette into 1/2 in (1.25 cm) thick slices, place on baking tray, and brush tops with remaining oil. Bake for 8 minutes, or until toasted.

    In small bowl, stir together goat cheese, rosemary or thyme, and lemon zest.

    To serve, spread goat cheese mixture on bread slices and top with roasted grapes.
