Ingredients
  

For the Chimichurri Sauce
  • 4 tablespoons scallions Offers a mild onion flavor; feel free to use green onions if needed.
  • 1 cup parsley leaves Adds freshness; go for flat-leaf parsley for the best taste, but curly works too.
  • 2 tablespoons fresh oregano leaves Provides earthy undertones; dried oregano can substitute at half the amount.
  • 1/2 cup olive oil This rich base enhances the sauce; avocado oil is a suitable alternative.
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar Brings in a needed acidity to balance flavors; apple cider vinegar can be used instead.
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt Essential for seasoning; adjust according to your taste.
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper Enhances overall flavor; freshly ground adds a wonderful kick.
For the Garlic Bread
  • 1 large baguette The star of the show; if you're out, ciabatta or another crusty bread will do just fine.

Step-by-Step Instructions for Zesty Chimichurri Garlic Bread
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and gather your baking sheet and aluminum foil.
  2. In a food processor, combine scallions, parsley leaves, fresh oregano, olive oil, red wine vinegar, kosher salt, and black pepper. Pulse until blended but with some texture.
  3. Carefully slice the large baguette into 1/2-inch thick slices, without cutting all the way through.
  4. Generously slather chimichurri sauce between the slices of the baguette and on top.
  5. Wrap the prepared baguette tightly in aluminum foil, leaving the top exposed to allow browning.
  6. Place the wrapped baguette on a baking sheet and bake for approximately 20 minutes until hot and lightly browned.
  7. Remove from the oven, unwrap, let cool slightly, slice, and serve warm.
