Elevate your appetizer game with this irresistibly flavorful Crisp Rosemary Parmesan Garlic Bread. Featuring a golden, crunchy French baguette infused with melted butter, fresh garlic, and aromatic rosemary, this easy recipe is finished with a generous layer of grated Parmesan for a savory, cheesy crust. Perfectly baked to golden perfection and lightly seasoned with olive oil, salt, and pepper, this garlic bread pairs beautifully with soups, pastas, or as a stand-alone snack. A quick broil at the end ensures an indulgently crisp texture, while an optional sprinkle of parsley adds a pop of color and freshness. Ready in just 25 minutes, this is the ultimate garlic bread recipe for any occasion.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice the French baguette in half lengthwise to create two long pieces. Set them aside on the prepared baking sheet, cut side up.
In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the butter, cooking until fragrant (about 1–2 minutes). Remove from heat.
Finely chop the fresh rosemary leaves and stir them into the melted butter along with the olive oil, salt, and ground black pepper.
Brush the garlic rosemary butter evenly over the cut sides of the baguette halves using a pastry brush.
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese generously over the buttered surfaces of each baguette half.
Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and crispy around the edges.
Optional: Turn the broiler on for the last 1–2 minutes to achieve a slightly charred, crunchy Parmesan crust. Keep a close eye to avoid burning.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool for 2–3 minutes. If desired, garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
Slice the bread into smaller pieces and serve warm. Enjoy your Crisp Rosemary Parmesan Garlic Bread!
