A delicious and easy garlic bread recipe made without butter, using olive oil for a flavorful and healthier alternative. Perfect as a side for pasta, soups, or salads.
Ingredients
1 loaf of French bread (about 12 inches)
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the French bread loaf in half lengthwise to create two long halves.
In a small bowl, combine the extra virgin olive oil, minced garlic, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Brush the olive oil and garlic mixture evenly over the cut sides of both bread halves.
If using, sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top of the bread halves.
Place the bread halves on a baking sheet, cut side up.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the bread is golden and crispy around the edges.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 2 minutes before slicing into pieces.
Serve warm.
