METHOD
Brush the bread slices lightly with oil and place them on a large baking tray. Bake for 5 to 8 minutes, or until the top is lightly browned.
Top each crostini immediately with chocolate pieces, then turn off the oven and return to it for 1 minute, or until the chocolate is melted enough to spread. After removing from the oven, use a mini offset spatula or knife to smooth the chocolate. Season with salt and orange zest to taste.
