Pecan 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. 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.
