Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, and salt.
Using a serrated knife, cut the French bread in half lengthwise.
Spread the garlic butter mixture evenly on the cut side of each bread half.
Place the bread halves on a baking sheet, cut side up.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-15 minutes, or until the bread is crispy and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
Slice and serve the garlic bread warm.
Enjoy!
