Walnut Free Garlic Bread
Golden, buttery, and fragrant with real garlic, this classic garlic bread is the kind of side dish that disappears from the table before anything else does. The spread comes together with softened butter, fresh minced garlic, and flat-leaf parsley — simple, honest ingredients with no hidden fillers or nut-based additions to worry about. A sprinkle of Parmesan and an optional pinch of red pepper flakes take it from weeknight staple to something that genuinely feels special. The two-stage bake is the secret here: a foil tent first to let the butter soak deep into the bread, then an uncovered blast to get those irresistible golden, bubbling edges. Sliced into thick pieces right off the cutting board, it's crispy on the outside, soft and garlicky in the middle, and completely impossible to eat just one piece of. Whether you're pairing it with pasta, soup, or just serving it as a crowd-pleasing snack, this is the kind of recipe you'll come back to again and again.
