- Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F.
- Brush the olive oil onto both sides of the bread. Set remaining oil aside.

- Preheat a large pan over medium heat.
- Place the baguette slices into the pan, turning once the bread is golden brown, about 1 minute.
- Place the slices on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Top each slice with 1/4 cup of the bean mixture. Sprinkle each slice with a little extra parmesan.
- Bake until the top is golden brown, about 10 minutes.
- Remove the bruschetta from the oven, and garnish each with chopped parsley and lemon zest.
