This Italian seasoned garlic bread is quick and easy to prepare and makes a wonderful side dish or appetizer.

This garlic bread is a great reason to pick up some fresh French bread next time you’re at the grocery store.

You know the ones, those warm freshly baked loaves of French bread in a basket right next to the checkout.

They smell so heavenly it’s almost impossible not to grab one and put it in my shopping cart.

Now you have a delicious recipe to make with French bread.

Make Ahead of Time

This seasoned garlic bread can be partially made ahead of time (all but the baking part).

So that all that has to be done is to bake the garlic bread just before serving.

About the Ingredients

This recipe is made with granulated garlic and dried herbs that taste similar to Italian seasoning.

And this garlic bread is topped with grated Parmesan cheese to add a little crunch after it’s baked.

And if there’s any leftovers, store the garlic bread in the refrigerator and toast it in a toaster oven.

Let’s check out the ingredients.

French bread, butter, granulated garlic, dried basil leaves, dried oregano, ground black pepper, grated Parmesan cheese, olive oil, fresh parsley (curly or flat Italian)
