Collagen Crostini W/ Super Youth Unflavored
Ingredients
- 1 baguette, sliced
- Olive oil, drizzle
- 8 oz Pesto
- 1 scoop Super Youth Unflavored
- 1 pound asparagus, trimmed and chopped to 2-inch pieces
- 2 oz goat cheese crumbles
- 1/4 cup almond slices
- Red pepper flakes, optional
- Freshly ground black pepper, for garnish
- Sea salt flakes, for garnish
Steps
Crostini:
- Preheat the oven to 375ยฐF. Slice the baguette in 1/4 to 1/2 inch slices
- Drizzle one side of the slices with olive oil. Turn the slices over, pressing them around on the pan in the olive oil to spread the olive oil and coat the slices. Flip and do the same to both sides. Bake the slices for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them so they don’t burn, the thinner they are, the less time they will need.
Asparagus: Toss asparagus pieces in a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of sea salt. Spread evenly on a rimmed baking sheet and roast at 375ยฐF for 6-9 minutes until tender. Pierce with a fork to determine if they are soft enough.
Assembly:
- Mix Super Youth and pesto in your bowl before beginning assembly.
- Take a piece of crostini and spread approximately 1/2 tablespoon of pesto across the top (use your judgment for how much pesto is needed depending on the size of the crostini). Then top with 2-3 pieces of asparagus.
- Add crumbled goat cheese on top of the asparagus, then add the almond slices, crumbling them in your fingers if needed.
- Top with flakey sea salt, freshly ground black pepper, and/or red pepper flakes as desired.
