Garlic bread is one of those universally beloved sides that feels almost too simple to mess up — and yet store-bought versions are loaded with additives, preservatives, and aged ingredients that can quietly trigger histamine reactions. This homemade version keeps things clean and straightforward, built around fresh garlic, softened butter, and a handful of pantry staples you can easily vet yourself. Fresh parsley adds a bright, herby lift without leaning on anything fermented or processed, and the optional Parmesan is the only ingredient worth a second thought for those who are especially sensitive. The broiler does the heavy lifting here, turning the cut surface golden and bubbling in just a few minutes with almost no effort on your part. Sliced straight from the cutting board and served hot, it's the kind of simple comfort food that doesn't ask you to compromise on flavor just because you're being careful about what goes on your plate.
