This recipe delivers crispy grilled naan flatbread slathered with a flavorful garlic herb butter, perfect for quick, comforting meals or gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • Naan flatbreads (store-bought or homemade)
  • ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, finely chopped (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chives, sliced thin
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine softened unsalted butter with minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped cilantro, sliced chives, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well blended and set aside for about 5 minutes to meld flavors.
  2. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat, approximately 375°F (190°C).
  3. Lay out the naan flatbreads on a clean surface and spread a thin, even layer of the garlic herb butter over one side of each naan.
  4. Place the naan butter-side down onto the hot grill. Grill for 2–3 minutes until golden brown grill marks appear and edges start to crisp. Use tongs to flip carefully.
  5. Spread more garlic herb butter on the grilled side of the naan, then flip again and grill for an additional 1–2 minutes.
  6. Remove the naan from the grill and let cool for a minute before serving. Repeat with remaining naan.

Notes

Use softened butter for easier spreading and even melting. Maintain medium-high heat to avoid burning the butter. Flip naan carefully with tongs to keep the crispy surface intact. For dairy-free, substitute butter with plant-based spread. For gluten-free, use gluten-free naan alternatives.
