Rich and garlicky, this easy and versatile garlic bread is a popular appetizer or side. Make with butter or olive oil, garlic scapes or cloves for a tasty treat.
Is there any side dish that’s quite as well loved as garlic bread? Rich, crunchy and flavorful, people will reach for it even before the entrée.
Italian American in origin, you’ll often see it served with spaghetti or pizza. But don’t stop there–it’s lovely with lots of other entrees too, and works well as a tasty appetizer.

These are the tasty early seed shoots that the garlic plant produces (which are removed to facilitate bulb development). Ready long before the garlic harvest, they are like a seasonal eating bonus! Yum!
You can even make it with olive oil instead of butter if you’re watching your heart health or serving vegan or dairy free eaters. Read more
