Lactose Free Smoky Paprika Artichoke & Olive Crostini

These crostini are the kind of appetizer that disappears from the platter before you've even finished arranging them. Whole-grain baguette slices get toasted to a satisfying golden crisp, then piled with a bold, chunky spread of artichoke hearts, Kalamata olives, smoked paprika, and a hit of lemon juice that ties everything together. The smoked paprika does serious heavy lifting here — it adds a deep, almost meaty warmth that makes the whole thing feel far more complex than the ingredient list suggests. Every component in this recipe is naturally free of dairy, so there's no swapping, substituting, or second-guessing required — just straightforward, plant-based ingredients that happen to taste incredible together. A quick pulse in the food processor keeps the topping rustic and textured rather than turning it into a paste, which means every bite has real character. Finish with a little fresh parsley and a squeeze of lemon, and you've got an elegant starter or snack that works just as well for a casual weeknight as it does for entertaining a crowd.
