Food Processor
If you are making salsas or sauces or simply prepping ingredients, a food processor is a must have! It chops and blends so quickly, saving you so much time!
How to Make Olive Bruschetta
First things first, cut a baguette into slices and brush with Carapelli Unfiltered Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Toast it in the oven for a few minutes.
Meanwhile, add all the ingredients into a food processor. Give it a few pulses until it’s all roughly chopped. You don’t want the olives to end up too chopped because the mixture will be too wet and mushy. We want texture! A few pulses will give you just that.
How to Serve Olive Bruschetta
You can make olive bruschetta the day before serving and place it in an airtight container. Make sure it is room temperature when you’re ready to serve.
You can either spread the bruschetta on baguette slices or have your guests spread the bruschetta on toasted baguette slices themselves. Either way, make sure to drizzle a bit of Carapelli Extra Virgin Olive Oil before devouring because it’s A MUST.
I’ve been making this appetizer for years. It is a highly requested one in my circle and I hope it becomes a fave for you too.

Olive Bruschetta Crostini
Ingredients
- 2 cups green olives, pitted and rinsed (Spanish olives are my fave)
- 3 tablespoons capers, rinsed
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup Carapelli Unfiltered Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil, plus more for drizzling
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 1 baguette, sliced, brushed with olive oil and toasted
Instructions
- In a food processor, add in olives, capers, garlic, olive oil and pepper.
- Pulse until roughly chopped (about 3-4 pulses only to avoid the mixture being too mushy). Taste and adjust as needed depending on your preferences – more garlic, more pepper, more capers. I would not recommend adding salt.
- Transfer the mixture to a serving dish. Serve on toasted baguette slices and drizzle olive oil on top, if desired. Enjoy!

Yes, you can use a knife. Just be very careful. I highly recommend you get a food processor, even if it’s a small one. They’re so useful in the kitchen! Thanks Elizabeth! :)
