A quick, easy, and kid-friendly garlic butter snack perfect for feeding hungry kids after sports or gatherings. Crispy on the edges with soft centers, these buttery bites are a comforting treat made with simple pantry ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 large garlic cloves, minced finely
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • ½ teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
  • Pinch of freshly ground black pepper (optional)
  • 1 medium French bread baguette, cut into 1-inch pieces (or substitute with dinner rolls or biscuit dough)
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper if using. Stir well to blend flavors.
  3. Slice the baguette or rolls into roughly 1-inch pieces. If using biscuit dough, pre-cut or portion accordingly.
  4. Using a spoon or pastry brush, generously spread the garlic butter mixture onto each bread piece, coating all sides.
  5. Arrange the buttered bread pieces on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer with space between each piece.
  6. Optionally, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese lightly over the top of each piece.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the bread pieces are golden brown and crispy on the edges but still soft inside.
  8. Let the snacks cool on the baking sheet for 3-5 minutes to firm up slightly.
  9. Serve warm and enjoy.

Notes

Use fresh garlic for best flavor. To mellow garlic for younger kids, roast cloves before mincing. Watch closely while baking to avoid burnt garlic. Reheat in oven or toaster oven to maintain crispiness; avoid microwave. Gluten-free and dairy-free substitutions are possible.
