Herb and Calabrian Chili Garlic Bread
Herb and Calabrian Chili Garlic Bread
Cue’ my new fave way to make garlic bread: spicy with Calabrian chili and herbs, like basil and parsley. Not to mention, the butter mixture is tossed with roasted garlic, which is absolutely breathtaking – literally.
This is great for a lil side dish, served alongside soup, as an app at a dinner party, served with a side salad or honestly, just for dinner by itself (been there, done that). You can check out my other fave garlic bread, too! Read along for the rest below.
