• 0.25 teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
• 1 teaspoon Lemon Zest

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Slice the baguette in half lengthwise to create two equal long pieces, and place them cut side up on a baking sheet.

Step 3

In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter.

Step 4

Finely mince the garlic cloves and add them to the melted butter, cooking gently until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes. Be careful not to brown the garlic.

Step 5

Remove the butter and garlic mixture from heat and stir in the olive oil, ground black pepper, and lemon zest.

Step 6

Using a pastry brush or spoon, evenly spread the garlic butter mixture over the cut sides of the baguette.

Step 7

Chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle it generously over the buttered baguette halves.

Step 8

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven on the middle rack and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the bread is crisp.

Step 9

Allow the baguette garlic bread to cool slightly, then slice into desired serving sizes.

Step 10

Serve warm as an accompaniment to pasta, soup, or salad.
