Almond Free Garlic Bread
Warm, buttery, and golden at the edges, this garlic bread is the kind of side dish that disappears from the table before anything else. The spread is built from softened butter, fresh minced garlic, and flat-leaf parsley — simple, real ingredients with nothing hidden in the mix. For anyone navigating tree nut allergies, store-bought garlic breads and restaurant versions can be a genuine concern, since shared prep surfaces and unexpected additives are more common than you'd think. Making it from scratch at home means you know exactly what went into every bite. A sprinkle of Parmesan and an optional pinch of red pepper flakes take it from basic to genuinely crave-worthy. The two-stage bake — foil on, then foil off — gives you that perfect contrast of a soft, buttery interior and lightly crisped, bubbling edges. Slice it up and serve it straight away while it's still hot.
