Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a food processor, combine the fresh parsley, pine nuts, grated parmesan cheese, and garlic cloves. Pulse until the mixture is finely chopped.

- Slice the baguettes in half horizontally, then cut each half into smaller pieces if desired, depending on the serving size you prefer.
- Spread the parsley pesto generously over the cut sides of the baguette pieces.
- Place the pesto-covered baguette pieces on a baking sheet, cut side up.

- Remove from oven and allow to cool for a couple of minutes.
- Serve warm as an appetizer or a side dish to your favorite meal.
Tips:
- Ensure the parsley is fresh for the best flavor.

- Use a good quality Parmesan cheese for a richer taste.
- Adjust the amount of garlic according to your preference.
- Spread the parsley pesto evenly on the baguettes for consistent flavor in each bite.
