Vegan Garlic Bread
Make the best vegan garlic bread with this easy recipe! Crispy, buttery, and packed with flavor, it’s perfect for any meal or occasion.
Ingredients
- 1 baguette or crusty bread loaf of choice
- 1/4 cup vegan butter softened
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 garlic cloves minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped (plus extra for garnish)
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast optional, for a cheesy flavor
- Optional: Red pepper flakes for a spicy kick
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix the softened vegan butter, olive oil, minced garlic, chopped parsley, sea salt, and nutritional yeast (if using) until well combined.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Using a sharp knife, cut the bread into thick slices, careful not to cut all the way through so the loaf stays intact at the base.
- Generously spread the garlic butter mixture between each slice and over the top of the bread, ensuring even coverage for maximum flavor.
- Place the bread on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and crispy. To add extra crunch, broil for 1–2 minutes, keeping a close eye to avoid burning.
- Remove the bread from the oven, let it cool slightly, and sprinkle with additional chopped parsley. Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
- Bread Options: You can use a sourdough loaf, ciabatta, or gluten-free bread for dietary preferences.
- Storage: Keep any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven for best results.
- Freezing: Assemble the garlic bread, wrap it in foil, and freeze for up to 1 month. Bake straight from frozen when you're ready to enjoy them.
- Customization: Add rosemary, thyme, or basil for a flavorful twist, or sprinkle red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
