Vegan crispy courgette crostini

I think it's about time for another non-baked, savoury dish to break up all the sugary dishes! This simple dish is perfect for a quick snack, especially if you're entertaining and want to try something new!
Serves 6
Ingredients
1 courgette (~200 g), grated
1 tsp salt
1/2 apple, peeled and grated
1 tbsp chopped fresh mint leaves
2 spring onions, finely chopped
6 slices of vegan french bread
1 garlic clove, crushed
pepper
Method
  1. Coarsely grate the courgette and spread over a clean, dry tea towel. Sprinkle with the salt and set aside for 5 minutes. Wrap the tea towel around the courgette and squeeze to remove as much juice as possible.
  2. Transfer the courgette to a mixing bowl and stir in the apple, mint, spring onions and garlic
  3. Toast the bread lightly on both sides and top with the courgette mixture. Grind pepper over them before serving.
I never really would have thought that apple and courgette go well together but it tasted surprisingly good! Definitely one I will try again.
