Tree Nut Free Garlic Bread
Golden, garlicky, and impossible to resist, this classic side brings serious comfort with just a handful of pantry staples. Real butter gets blended with fresh minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and a pinch of heat from optional red pepper flakes — no fillers, no mystery ingredients, just clean and straightforward flavor. A dusting of Parmesan on top takes it over the edge, creating those irresistible golden edges and bubbling butter you want from every great loaf. The foil-tent method in the oven keeps the interior soft while the final few minutes uncovered deliver that perfect crisp finish. For anyone navigating tree nut concerns, this recipe is naturally in the clear — every ingredient is simple and easy to verify, with no almond flour, nut-based spreads, or other common substitutes that can sneak into bakery-style breads. Slice it up and serve it straight from the cutting board while it's still warm and fragrant.
