Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 naan bread
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 3 cloves fresh garlic, finely grated
  • 2 tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped
  • 0.25 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 pinch chili flakes (optional)
  • 1 pinch flaky sea salt (for finishing)

Equipment

  • grill
  • Small saucepan
  • basting brush
  • Tongs

Method
 

  1. In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter until just liquid. Remove from heat and stir in garlic, parsley, salt, and chili flakes if using. Set aside.
  2. Let naan sit at room temperature if refrigerated. Brush both sides lightly with olive oil.
  3. Preheat grill to medium to medium-high heat (375–400°F) and clean grates thoroughly.
  4. Place naan directly on the grill and cook for 1.5 to 2 minutes until grill marks form. Flip and cook another 1 to 1.5 minutes.
  5. Remove naan from grill and immediately brush generously with garlic butter while still hot.
  6. Finish with flaky sea salt and serve immediately while warm.

Notes

Use fresh garlic for best flavor and avoid applying butter before grilling to prevent burning. For extra flavor, add chili flakes or finish with flaky sea salt. Homemade naan elevates the texture, but high-quality store-bought naan works perfectly for quick meals.
