Crispy, buttery, and packed with garlic flavor—this 5-ingredient Nando’s garlic bread tastes just like the restaurant version!
Ingredients
- 2 Portuguese-style rolls or ciabatta/baguette
- 8 tbsp garlic butter mix 1/2 cup softened butter + 4 minced garlic cloves and roast *(check full instructions below)
- 2 tbsp olive oil extra richness
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 4 tsp dried parsley or 4 tbsp fresh
Instructions
Prepare the Garlic Butter
- Crush the garlic. Cut off the ends of the garlic heads and crush the raw garlic — or for extra flavour, cook the garlic before crushing. To roast, place the garlic on parchment paper, drizzle with olive oil, and wrap it. Bake in the oven at 180°C (350°F) for 40–50 minutes.
- Mix the roasted garlic with a fork until it forms a creamy paste and then add the salt.
Assemble the Garlic Bread
- Add the dried parsley flakes (or chopped fresh parsley) to the garlic cream and stir until well combined.
- Divide the bread rolls in half lengthwise.
- Spread the garlic cream generously on the cut sides of the rolls.
- Drizzle lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with dried parsley flakes.
Bake the Garlic Bread and Serve
- Bake in the oven at 200°C (390°F) for 8–10 minutes or until crispy and golden.
- Optionally sprinkle some extra parsley flakes. Slice and serve warm.
