This elegant lima bean crostini is a sophisticated take on a high-protein snack, offering a creamy and nutritious alternative to traditional dips. The butter-like texture of the lima beans pairs beautifully with a fragrant infusion of rosemary, garlic, and dried red peppers in extra-virgin olive oil. It is a vibrant, savoury dish that works equally well as a light lunch or an impressive appetiser for guests, providing a wonderful balance of earthy flavours and a hint of citrus.

As a high-protein vegetarian option, this recipe is as healthful as it is delicious. The beans are gently simmered and then soaked in spiced oil to ensure every mouthful is packed with Mediterranean-inspired aromatics. Serve the smooth puree on crunchy, oven-toasted baguette slices for a satisfying contrast in textures that will brighten any seasonal spread.

Ingredients for Lima-Bean Crostini

1 (1-pound) box frozen lima beans
475ml extra-virgin olive oil
2 whole dried red peppers
1 6-inch stalk rosemary
2 dientes de ajo, finamente cortados
Jugo de 1 limón
Salt and black pepper to taste
1 baguette

How to make Lima-Bean Crostini

Soften the beans in simmering water for about 2 minutes. In another pan, heat the oil, red peppers, rosemary, and garlic over medium-low heat until the rosemary starts to sizzle. Turn off heat. Drain the beans well, add them to the pan, and let soak in the oil for 30 minutes. Remove the rosemary leaves from the stalk; discard the stalk and 1 of the red peppers. In a blender or food processor, puree the beans, oil, garlic, rosemary leaves, lemon juice, and the remaining red pepper. Add the salt and black pepper. Drizzle with more extra-virgin olive oil and serve with crostini.

Slice a baguette into 1-inch slices. Drizzle with olive oil, salt, and black pepper to taste. Bake in a 191°C oven until crisp and just browned.
