How to make Vegan Garlic Bread
ingredients you will need:
- Garlic
- Parsley
- Basil
- Oregano
- Salt
- Olive Oil
- Fresh Bread
Chop up the garlic into tiny pieces and then place into a bowl.
Chop the parsley and basil and also add into the bowl along with the oregano, salt, and olive oil.
Mix the garlic mixture until combined and then place into the freezer for about an hour.
Why should we put the garlic bread spread in the freezer?
This is a great way to make garlic bread spread without any butter. When you freeze the olive oil it will become a solid and then you can easily spread it onto the bread. If you were to use it in a liquid form it would completely saturate the bread without covering both sides.
Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F.
Once the garlic bread spread is becoming solid remove it from the freezer and give a mix.
Slice the bread in half lengthwise and then spread the garlic spread onto each side.
Place the garlic bread in the oven on a baking sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes.
Remove from oven and allow to cool before slicing.
