VEGAN GARLIC BREAD RECIPE
This homemade vegan garlic bread recipe is easy, simple, and affordable to make in just a few minutes. So, in order to make this vegan garlic bread you will mainly need 4 ingredients and a few optional ones; such as vegan parmesan cheese or nutritional yeast.
If you enjoy eating savory flavors and classic garlic bread is one of them, you can make your own vegan version of this garlicky goodness recipe. Furthermore, you can make the best garlic bread at home even better than restaurant-style garlic bread ones.
Also, this incredibly delicious garlic bread or garlic toast is great to enjoy as a side together with other vegan recipes together with a main dish.
GARLIC BREAD SEASONING
Although I seasoned this garlic bread completely dairy free as it was adapted for a vegan diet, you won’t miss out on flavor. Nowadays you can find good quality butter replacements that taste really good; such as unsalted vegan butter that you can get in most grocery stores.
If raw minced garlic is too strong for you, you can reduce the number of garlic cloves, or alternatively, you can replace this ingredient with garlic powder. Therefore, garlic powder is a great option if you like to taste garlicky goodness but with a mild flavor. Another additional alternative is to use oven-roasted garlic.
Additionally to the fresh parsley and fresh garlic that will give the characteristic taste we all love, if you want to be more creative with this classic dish cuisine, check the following list for more seasoning inspiration!
- Fresh herbs; such as basil, rosemary, and thyme.
- Nutritional yeast.
- Onion powder.
- Dried parsley.
- Dried basil.
- Oregano.
- Tarragon.
- Chives.
GARLIC BREAD EXTRA TOPPINGS
Eating this garlic bread just as it is, is a true delight; however, you can always add more topping to this garlic recipe. For example, besides the homemade vegan parmesan cheese I choose, you can include other vegan cheeses. Furthermore, you can add vegan cheeses that melt to create the best vegan garlic bread.
- Vegan mozzarella.
- Vegan cheese.
- Cherry tomatoes.
- Olives; such as green and black (pitted or filled).
- Fresh tomato salsa.
- Vegan cheese sauce.
GARLIC BREAD TIPS
- Fresh ingredients: you can make the butter mixture in advance with the raw garlic cloves and keep it refrigerated (so you can use it later).
- Bread: I used a classic baguette bread for this garlic bread as I think is the best bread for this recipe. However, you can use another bread of your choice; such as Italian bread/Italian loaf or even gluten-free bread.
- Serving: as I said before you can make part of this recipe ahead of time, but I highly recommend that you prepare this recipe on the spot and serve it immediately.
