Xanthan Gum 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. Smoked paprika and briny Kalamata olives give the topping a deep, savory punch, while artichoke hearts add a tender, earthy body that makes every bite feel genuinely satisfying. The whole-grain baguette slices get baked until golden and crisp, giving you that perfect crunch underneath the chunky, spreadable topping. A squeeze of fresh lemon juice brightens everything up and keeps the flavors lively rather than heavy. Many store-bought spreads and dips sneak in stabilizers and thickeners that can be a real headache to track down on an ingredient label — this topping is built entirely from whole, recognizable ingredients with nothing hidden in the mix. The food processor does the work of bringing everything together with just a few pulses, leaving the texture coarse and rustic rather than smooth, so you get real bites of olive and artichoke in every mouthful. Finished with a scatter of fresh parsley and a wedge of lemon on the side, these crostini are as beautiful as they are easy to pull off for a crowd.
