Step 1: Make Garlic Butter

Step 3: Slice into Dippers
Remove naan from the oven and let cool for 2 minutes then cut each piece into long strips that are easy for kids to pick up and dip.
Step 4: Serve with Dipping Sauces
Arrange the naan dippers on a platter with small bowls of marinara and hummus for dipping. Kids love choosing their favorite sauce.
