Grilled Parmesan Garlic Bread
If you love garlic bread but don’t want to crank up the oven during the summer, you have to try this grilled Parmesan garlic bread. It’s slathered with a buttery garlic Parmesan spread and cooked on the grill until hot, crispy, and toasted.
What Makes This Grilled Garlic Bread So Good
- Grilling gives the bread crispy toasted edges and smoky flavor.
- You don’t have to heat up the kitchen with the oven.
- The buttery garlic Parmesan spread adds tons of flavor.
- It’s an easy side dish for cookouts, pasta dinners, chicken, and steak.
- The garlic bread is ready to serve in just 15 minutes
Ingredients
- Bread: I like to use a large Italian loaf or loaf of ciabatta.
- Unsalted butter: It needs to be softened so you can easily mix it with the cheese and seasonings.
- Garlic: Finely minced so it flavors the butter evenly.
- Grated Parmesan cheese
- Fresh parsley: Or try fresh chives or thyme
- Salt and black pepper
How to Make It
- Slice the bread in half lengthwise so you have two long pieces.
- Mix the butter, garlic, cheese, parsley, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
- Spread the butter mixture on each piece of bread.
- Grill the bread buttered side down on a hot grill for about a minute and then flip them over and grill them for minute more.
- Slice and serve the garlic bread toasty hot!

Servings: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 (16-inch) loaf Italian or ciabatta bread
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter softened
- 4 garlic cloves minced
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Slice the bread in half lengthwise so you have two long pieces.
- Combine the butter, garlic, cheese, parsley, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Spread the garlic-Parmesan butter over the cut sides of each bread slice.
- Heat the grill to medium-high direct heat. Place the bread slices buttered-side down on the hot grill grates. Grill them for 30-60 seconds until the undersides are crispy with grill marks. Keep an eye on it because it can go from toasty to burned pretty quickly.
- Flip the bread and grill for 1-2 minutes more until lightly charred around the edges.
- Transfer the grilled bread to a cutting board and slice them into smaller pieces. Serve warm.
Notes
You can make the garlic butter spread up to a week ahead and keep it in the fridge until you’re ready to grill your bread.
No grill? You can bake the bread in the oven for 10 to 12 minutes at 400°F.
Store leftover grilled bread in an airtight container. They will keep at room temperature for a couple of days or in the refrigerator for a few days longer. I like to reheat the leftover bread in the oven or the air fryer.
