Preheat the oven to 200°C (fan 180°C).

Slice the baguette into 2 cm thick slices.

In a bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix until well blended.

Spread the garlic butter mixture generously over each slice of bread.

Place the bread slices on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and crispy.

Serve immediately while hot.
