Ingredients
1 baguette cut into 12-14 slices

1 Tbsp. of crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
2 ounces of fresh pomegranate arils
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place baguette slices in a single layer on a baking sheet.

TIps & nutritional value
- 1. Brussels can be rich in fiber and vitamin K which is important for bone health. They also have high amounts of vitamin C, which helps support a healthy immune system. (source: healthline)
- 2. Pomegranates are another delicious superfood that you should add to your diet. They can be intimidating at first but once you break through the tough skin you will find sweet-tart seeds inside that are packed with antioxidants and nutrients. We recommend cutting them open in water. Pre-seeded pomegranates work just as well, however we recommend buying the whole pomegranate because it is fresher!
