These crostini are the kind of appetizer that disappears from the platter before you've even finished arranging them. Toasted whole-grain baguette slices get topped with a boldly flavored spread of artichoke hearts, briny Kalamata olives, smoked paprika, and a hit of lemon — it's smoky, savory, and just a little spicy from the crushed red pepper flakes. The topping is pulsed in a food processor until it's coarsely chopped and spreadable, so every bite has real texture and character rather than a bland, smooth paste. Garlic is bloomed in olive oil first, which deepens the whole flavor base in just about a minute on the stove. Every single ingredient here is naturally free from tree nuts, so there's no need to scrutinize labels or worry about hidden additions sneaking into your spread. A scatter of fresh parsley and a squeeze of lemon at the end keeps things bright and fresh. Whether you're hosting a crowd or just want something impressive on a weeknight, this one comes together with minimal effort and maximum payoff.

Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C). Arrange the baguette slices in a single layer on a baking sheet and brush the tops with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil.
Bake for 8–10 minutes, until the edges are golden and the tops feel firm and crisp when pressed lightly. Remove from the oven and set aside.
