Celery Free Garlic Bread
Golden, garlicky, and impossible to resist, this classic loaf delivers everything you want from a great side — crispy edges, buttery centers, and that irresistible aroma filling the kitchen the moment it hits the oven. The garlic butter spread comes together in minutes with softened butter, fresh minced garlic, parsley, and a pinch of salt and pepper, making it genuinely simple to pull off on a weeknight. A light tent of foil during the first bake keeps the interior soft while the final few minutes uncovered coax those gorgeous golden edges and bubbling butter across the surface. For anyone navigating a celery-free lifestyle, this recipe is naturally in the clear — every ingredient is straightforward, with no hidden celery seed, celery salt, or celery-based seasoning blends sneaking in. Optional Parmesan adds a salty, nutty finish that takes the whole thing up a notch without complicating the ingredient list. Slice it crosswise and serve it hot, because this is the kind of bread that disappears from the table before anything else does.
