Low Sugar Classic Garlic Bread
Garlic bread is one of those side dishes that feels indulgent but is actually built from the most honest pantry staples around. This version keeps things beautifully simple — real butter, fresh garlic, a handful of parsley, and a hot broiler do all the heavy lifting. There's no need for store-bought garlic spreads loaded with sweeteners or mystery additives; every ingredient here is exactly what it says it is. The broiler works fast, crisping the cut surface to a golden, bubbling finish while keeping the interior soft and pull-apart tender. A little Parmesan scattered on top before it goes under the heat adds a salty, nutty edge that takes the whole thing over the top. Slice it up and serve it straight from the board — it disappears quickly, so don't wait.
