- Spices (herbs de Provence, garlic powder, chili flakes)
- Fresh veggies (bell peppers, cherry tomatoes)

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Slice your bread into bite-sized pieces, about one inch thick, and arrange them on a baking sheet.
- Brush each piece with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and your choice of spices.
- Toast the bread in the oven for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown, flipping halfway through.

- Present your savory bites on a platter and serve.
Notes
For best texture, keep the bread and toppings separate until just before serving. Experiment with various spreads for unique flavors.
