Low Fat Toasted French Bread Recipe

Low Fat Thrifty Alternative To Chips, Impressive Holiday Appetizer

Serve toasted french bread with artichoke dip, spinach dip, sour cream dip, hummus, refried beans, guacamole, salsa - find them all in our Sauces, Dips and Spreads recipes.

Use day old, firm skinny baguette(s), white or whole grain, for easy slicing. Remove the crusts if you like - but do it before you slice the bread! I think it's unnecessary, but maybe not if you're entertaining royalty.

Yield: 32 slices, 8 Servings

Total Prep And Cook Time: 45 minutes

Nutrition Data Per Serving (based on white bread): 92 cal, 18g carb, 1g fat, 208mg sodium, 1g sugars, 1g fiber, 4g protein. Low cholesterol, good source folate & selenium. Estimated glycemic load 11

Directions

Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
Cut the baguette into thin slices (1/4 - 3/8 inch).
Place the slices on a cookie sheet and bake until light golden brown and completely dry, 15 - 30 minutes.
Serve toasted bread slices on a platter with some dips, and watch them disappear!
