Rosemary Parmesan Dipping Crostini – Make your party dips and spreads shine this holiday season with this savory and delicious homemade crostini!
Have you ever gone to a party that had delicious dips and spreadable cheeses, but terrible, store-bought crostini? I know I have! It’s unfortunate, because they’re so easy to make and something as simple as bad crostini and ruin a remarkable spread or dip!
This flavorful version of crostini is made with a bakery-bought rosemary loaf and is seasoned with olive oil and parmesan. I made it in a dipping shape to match perfectly with my Roasted Red Pepper Dip. The look of the green rosemary along with the bright red pepper dip has a festive holiday flair. This rosemary parmesan crostini is also delicious with soft cheeses like brie, as well as bruschetta or an olive tapenade.
This recipe only took about fifteen minutes to prepare and bake, so I’d say it was worth the work to make my dips and spreads shine this New Year!

Looks amazing! Do you think I can use a normal artisan bread and add some fresh rosemary while we bake them with the parmesan?
