Ingredients:

4-6 beef marrow bones (cut lengthwise or crosswise)

1 baguette, sliced into thin rounds

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 clove garlic, halved

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

Preparation:

Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).

Place the marrow bones on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Roasting:

Roast the bones in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the marrow is soft and bubbling but not melted away.

Toasting the Baguette:

While the marrow bones are roasting, brush the baguette slices with olive oil.

Toast the slices in the oven for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are golden and crispy.

Rub each slice with the cut side of the garlic for added flavor.

Serving:

Once the marrow is roasted, use a small spoon to scoop it onto the toasted baguette slices.

Sprinkle with sea salt, freshly ground black pepper, and chopped parsley.

Serve immediately, with lemon wedges on the side for a squeeze of freshness.
