Ingredients

• 1 loaf French bread or baguette
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
• 4 cloves Garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
• 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese (optional)
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easier cleanup.

Step 2

Slice the loaf of French bread or baguette into even sticks about 1 inch wide, keeping the base intact if you'd like pull-apart breadsticks, or slicing completely through for individual sticks.

Step 3

Melt the butter in a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl until fully liquid, but not browned.

Step 4

Mince the garlic cloves finely, or use a garlic press, and stir the garlic into the melted butter.

Step 5

Chop fresh parsley into fine pieces and combine it with the melted butter and garlic mixture. Add a pinch of salt for flavor balance.

Step 6

Optional: Stir in Parmesan cheese if you'd like an extra cheesy flavor in your garlic breadsticks.

Step 7

Brush each breadstick generously with the garlic butter mixture using a pastry brush.

Step 8

Place the prepared breadsticks on the lined baking sheet, leaving a small gap between each piece if sliced completely.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 8–10 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown and crispy.

Step 10

Optional: For a slight crunch, turn the oven to broil for the last 1–2 minutes of cooking.

Step 11

Remove the garlic sticks from the oven and let them cool for 1–2 minutes before serving.

Step 12

Serve warm and enjoy on their own or alongside your favorite pasta, soup, or salad.
