There is nothing better than a side of buttery garlic bread to complete your meal. Especially when it’s homemade, hot and fresh from the oven! The delicious aroma that overtakes your kitchen when these baddies are in the oven can definitely make one smile.

Using fresh roasted garlic is the way to go in my book, and I love it so much, I normally use up to 2 knobs of garlic for 1 small loaf of french bread! However, you can adjust the amount of garlic up to your preference.

My husband and I also love a bit of chili flakes with our garlic bread for a bit of heat, but it’s totally optional!

NOTES FOR HOMEMADE PARMESAN GARLIC BREAD

Unsalted butter – I use unsalted butter for this recipe since I’m incorporating parmesan, which has that slightly salty and nutty flavor.
Best served immediately – Garlic bread is best eaten when it’s fresh from the oven to enjoy that crispy, buttery bite.
Making ahead and freezing – You can prep the garlic bread ahead and tightly wrap them in foil before storing in the freezer. It can last up to 3 months.

2 knobs garlic
3 tbsp olive oil

Garlic Butter

2 sticks unsalted butter softened
2 knobs roasted garlic
1 tbsp parsley
1 tsp sugar
4 tbsp parmesan
1 tsp chili flakes

Others

Instructions

Roasted Garlic

Preheat oven to 400 F.
Cut 1/4 – 1/2 inch off the top of each of the garlic knobs.
Place garlic knobs on foil (the side that has been cut on top) and drizzle the olive oil all over the garlic, focusing more on the exposed area.
Cover the knobs completely with foil and bake for 45 minutes-50 minutes or until the garlic have browned and feel soft when pressed.

Garlic Butter

Squeeze out the roasted garlic into a bowl once it has cooled (see notes).
Add all the other ingredients in the bowl and mix until well combined.

Garlic Bread

Slice the french bread at a diagonal angle.
Spread generous amount of the butter on each slice of bread.
Bake in oven at 400 F for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown. Enjoy!

Notes

*I mash the garlic with a fork if some garlic cloves were not squeezed out as well.
