Low Histamine Garlic Bread

Warm, buttery, and fragrant with fresh garlic and parsley, this is the kind of side dish that disappears from the table before anything else. For anyone managing histamine sensitivity, classic garlic bread can be a minefield — aged cheeses, certain seasonings, and processed loaves all tend to be high-histamine offenders. This version keeps things clean by leaning on fresh garlic, unsalted butter, and freshly chopped flat-leaf parsley as the flavor backbone. The Parmesan is listed as optional, which makes it easy to skip entirely if aged dairy is a trigger for you. A quick tent of foil during the first part of baking keeps the bread soft and steamy inside, while the final few uncovered minutes deliver those irresistible golden edges. Sliced crosswise and served straight from the oven, it pairs beautifully with soups, salads, or really anything that deserves a little something extra on the side.
