Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 2 teaspoons chopped fresh oregano
• salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
• 2 cups seedless grapes
• 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided, or as needed

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and set aside.

Step 2

Toss grapes, 1 tablespoon olive oil, thyme, and oregano together in a medium bowl. Spread grapes out evenly on the prepared baking sheet and sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Step 3

Bake in the preheated oven until grapes are tender and their skins start to wrinkle, 12 to 15 minutes.

Step 4

Meanwhile, brush baguette slices lightly with remaining olive oil and place on another baking sheet.

Step 5

Toast in the preheated oven until lightly browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove grape mixture and crostini from the oven and let cool slightly.

Step 6

Mix ricotta cheese and lemon zest together in a bowl. Spread onto each crostini and top with grape mixture. Drizzle with balsamic glaze and serve.
