Capsaicin Free Classic Garlic Bread
Garlic bread is one of those universally beloved sides that somehow makes every meal feel more complete, and this version is a true crowd-pleaser. For anyone avoiding capsaicin — whether due to sensitivity, a digestive condition, or simply personal preference — classic garlic bread is a natural fit, since the bold flavor here comes entirely from garlic, butter, and fresh parsley rather than any heat-forward spices. The only seasoning is a touch of kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, so you get a deeply savory, aromatic result without a single ingredient that could cause a problem. Broiling the buttered baguette halves gives you that irresistible combination of crispy, golden edges and a soft, buttery center that no store-bought version can match. An optional dusting of Parmesan adds a nutty, salty finish that takes the whole thing over the top. Keep a close eye on it under the broiler — the difference between perfectly golden and overdone is just a minute or two, but the payoff is absolutely worth the attention.
