Ingredients
- 4 store-bought naan bread
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
- 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tbsp fresh chives, sliced
- 1/2 lemon zest
- 1/4 tsp kosher salt

Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix softened butter, minced garlic, parsley, chives, lemon zest, salt, pepper, and chili flakes until fully combined.
- Let the naan sit at room temperature for at least 15 minutes before grilling.
- Preheat grill to 425–450°F and clean and oil the grates.
- Brush both sides of the naan lightly with olive oil.
- Grill naan for 1.5–2.5 minutes until charred and bubbling.
- Flip and grill the other side for 1.5–2 minutes until charred.
- Immediately spread garlic butter over the hot naan so it melts into the surface.
- Finish with flaky salt, herbs, and serve immediately with lemon wedges.
Notes
For deeper flavor, use roasted garlic instead of raw. Always apply butter after grilling to prevent burning. Works great on a grill or flat top. Can be made vegan with plant-based butter. Best served immediately while hot.
