While the garlic and tomatoes are roasting, prepare the baguette. Slice the baguette lengthwise into two halves. Brush the cut sides generously with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat, or preheat your oven to 375°F. Toast the baguette halves, cut-side down, until golden brown and slightly crispy (about 3-5 minutes on a grill pan, or 5-7 minutes in the oven). Once toasted, cut the baguette halves into individual serving-sized pieces.
