1Baguette (cut into 1/2-inch thick slices, about 12-14 slices)
2tbspOlive Oil (for brushing)
15ozCannellini Beans (drained and rinsed)
1/2cupSun-Dried Tomatoes (chopped)
2clovesGarlic (minced)
1tbspOlive Oil
1tspItalian Seasoning
1/4tspRed Pepper Flakes
Salt & Pepper to taste
1/4cupShaved Parmesan Cheese
Fresh Basil Leaves (torn)
Instructions
Brush both sides of the baguette slices lightly with olive oil. Preheat the air fryer to 370F and toast the slices for 3-4 minutes, flipping once, until golden and crispy. Set aside.
In a bowl, combine the cannellini beans, sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, 1 tablespoon olive oil, italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Gently toss, lightly mashing a few beans with the back of a fork to create a creamy base while leaving most of them whole.
Spoon the bean mixture generously onto each toasted baguette slice.
Return the topped bruschetta to the air fryer at 350F for 3-4 minutes until the topping is warmed through and the edges of the bread get extra crispy.
Top with shaved parmesan and torn fresh basil leaves. Serve immediately as an appetizer or light meal.
