Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Zesty Chimichurri Garlic Bread
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare the baking tray lined with parchment paper.
  2. In a food processor, combine scallions, parsley, oregano, olive oil, red wine vinegar, kosher salt, and black pepper. Pulse until smooth, about 30-45 seconds.
  3. Slice the baguette vertically every half-inch without cutting all the way through to create pockets for the chimichurri sauce.
  4. Brush the chimichurri sauce generously between each slice and over the top of the baguette.
  5. Wrap the baguette in aluminum foil, leaving the top exposed to achieve a golden-brown crust.
  6. Bake for approximately 20 minutes until the top is golden brown and the bread is heated through.
  7. Unwrap the bread carefully and serve warm while the crust is still crispy.
