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!
