Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 8 slices white bread
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a small bowl, combine softened butter, garlic powder, minced garlic, and salt, mixing until blended.
  3. Place the slices of bread on the baking sheet and spread the garlic butter mixture generously on each slice.
  4. Bake in the oven for 7-9 minutes, or until the edges are golden and crispy.
  5. After baking, sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley and let them cool slightly on a wire rack before serving to retain crispness.

Notes

For extra flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the garlic butter mixture.
You can substitute the white bread with Italian or French bread for a different texture.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container for a day, and reheat in the oven before serving.
