Grilled Garlic Bread
This buttery, garlicky bread is grilled to perfection, offering a crispy exterior and soft, flavorful interior. It's an ideal side dish for pasta, grilled meats, or as a standalone snack.
Ingredients
- 1 loaf French or Italian white bread
- ½ cup butter very soft
- 2 tablespoons garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
Instructions
- Preheat the grill: Set your grill to low heat.
- Prepare the bread: Place the loaf on a large sheet of foil. Slice the bread into 1½-inch thick slices, ensuring the bottom remains intact so the slices stay connected.
- Apply butter: Spread softened butter between each slice and rub some over the top of the loaf.
- Season: Sprinkle garlic powder between each slice, aiming to cover as much surface area as possible.
- Add garlic and herbs: Place minced garlic on top of the loaf and finish off with Italian seasoning.
- Wrap and grill: Wrap the bread loosely in the foil, ensuring it's sealed but has room for heat circulation. Place it on the grill and cook for 15–20 minutes, turning halfway through.
- Serve: Carefully unwrap the foil, pull apart the slices, and serve warm.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, consider adding grated Parmesan cheese to the butter mixture.
- Ensure the bread slices remain connected at the bottom to maintain the loaf's structure during grilling.
- This recipe can be easily doubled for larger gatherings.
