I think we can all agree that garlic bread is one of the most popular appetizers! I mean, it's cheesy, garlicky AND crunchy; what's not to like?
This recipe is easy and simple yet tasty. You can serve it alongside pasta or soup as a side dish or just as a snack. Either way, you will love it.
This garlic bread is not a regular garlic bread, all thanks to roasted garlic.
I love using roasted garlic in many different dishes and this recipe is definitely one of them. Roasting garlic is very easy and you can roast a few of them simultaneously and use them in different dishes for a few days.
I'm pretty sure you won't have any leftovers here but if (and this is a big if) you had any, you can refrigerate them in an airtight container and heat it up for few minutes in the oven before serving.
