• 10 large basil leaves
• 1 lb. strawberries, quartered
• 1 gluten-free baguette, cut into 1/4 inch slices

‍

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
2. Dredge the slices of bread in the melted ghee and lay them flat on the sheet pan. Place in the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes. The crostini should be golden brown but not burnt.
3. Reduce the oven temperature to 300 degrees. In a small saucepan, add the honey, water, and 5 basil leaves-torn into small pieces. Bring the mixture to a boil and remove it from the heat.
4. Toss the quartered strawberries in the honey mixture and pour them onto a parchment-lined sheet pan. Place in the oven and roast for 50 minutes.
5. Spread the goat cheese on the crostini and top with the roasted strawberries. Cut the 5 remaining basil leaves into thin slices (chiffonade). Sprinkle the basil over the crostini and serve.
