That’s it! You can serve with marinara sauce if desired. Fair warning: I recommend having the dipping sauce ready to go right when the bread comes out of the oven… otherwise, if you turn your back for a few seconds, all the slices might be gone!

What to serve with low-carb garlic bread

This hot and melty dish is so tasty, you’ll be tempted to eat it all on its own. But it also makes a wonderful side dish!

Looking for a traditional cheesy-bread-and-pizza experience? You could whip up this keto pizza crust, keto pizza casserole, or even this vegan cauliflower pizza with basil pesto!

It would also be super delicious alongside these keto meatballs in tomato sauce. Bonus: you can use the bread to scoop up any leftover sauce.

I also love a hearty side like this with a dish like baked pork ribs or beanless chili. You’re guaranteed to feel satisfied after eating all that deliciousness!

Storage

One of the best parts about garlic bread is the melted butter and cheese. So, as you might imagine, this dish is best served when it’s hot and fresh out of the oven.

But if you find yourself with leftovers, don’t let them go to waste! Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.

When you’re ready to enjoy, put the garlic bread on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and pop it back in the oven at 350°F. Once it’s heated through and the cheese has re-melted, you’re ready to eat!
