Why you will love homemade garlic bread that’s vegan

If you love garlic bread, you’ll love it, pinky promise! It’s full of flavor and you won’t even notice that the butter is missing. The trick to getting delicious garlic flavor and oil on all of the bread without using a vegan butter is actually by making the olive oil into a spread! You can spread it all over the bread and not miss a single piece.

Is garlic bread vegan? 

Unfortunately, no. Garlic bread typically has butter. Keep this in mind when eating out. You could always ask to know the ingredients, and if it’s made fresh ask them to keep it out.

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.
