Ingredients

1 bulb garlic roasted
1/2 teaspoon olive oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
12 ounce loaf fresh French bread
12 tablespoons butter softened
3 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese fresh grated
Pepper to taste

Instructions

Start by roasting your garlic. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and remove your butter from the fridge to soften.
Slice the top of your bulb of garlic to expose the cloves. Place them in a square of tin foil, and drizzle with the olive oil. Lightly sprinkle with salt and pepper. Crimp together the foil to form a seal with plenty of air inside to circulate.
1 bulb garlic, 1/2 teaspoon olive oil
Place in the oven and roast at 350 degrees for 45 minutes. While the garlic is roasting, chop your parsley.
When the garlic has roasted, remove it from the oven and carefully open the tin foil. Let it cool until you can handle it comfortably. Place the butter in a bowl, and squeeze the garlic cloves onto the butter. Add the parsley and salt. Use a spatula or fork to stir the mixture together until it is evenly combined.
12 tablespoons butter, 3 tablespoons fresh parsley, 1/4 teaspoon salt
Slice your loaf of bread in half lengthwise so you have two long boat shapes. Use the spatula to smear half the butter mixture on each piece of bread. Grate the Parmesan cheese over the butter mixture.

Gently wrap the bread in foil, with the coated halves of bread facing each other. Place on the middle rack of your still preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes. Remove the bread and turn the oven to broil. Open the bread halves so that the garlic butter is on top and return it to the oven on the foil for two to three minutes, until the cheese has melted a bit and the bread has browned to your liking.
Cut with a serrated knife, and serve immediately.

Notes

You can roast your garlic in the air fryer if you prefer at 350 degrees for 40 minutes. Be sure to wrap the bulb in a foil tent, just as you do in the oven.
You can roast the garlic two to three days ahead of time, keeping it tightly sealed in the fridge until you need it.
