The BEST Vegan Garlic Bread
Description
The preparation starts by combining softened vegan butter with minced garlic, freshly chopped parsley, sea salt, and black pepper to create a spread imbued with herbaceous and savory flavors. This mixture is spread generously over bread slices ensuring coverage to the edges for even flavor. A sprinkling of vegan parmesan cheese adds a toastiness and subtle umami after baking. Placing the prepared bread on a baking sheet and baking in a 375°F oven for 12 to 15 minutes allows the edges to turn golden and the cheese to lightly toast, creating a crunchy yet buttery texture.
This garlic bread pairs particularly well with tomato-based soups or pasta dishes, making it a versatile side. It can be made with various bread types to suit dietary needs and preferences. The recipe notes that Miyoko’s vegan butter is preferred for flavor, but other vegan butters can be substituted.

Ingredients
- 8-10 lices bread ensure vegan as needed // sourdough, sandwich, and gluten-free bread all work wonderfully! // or use one large halved baguette, of choice
- 1/2 cup vegan butter Miyoko's for best flavor, unsalted
- 2 Tbsp garlic 4 large cloves garlic yield ~2 Tbsp // or sub 2 tsp garlic powder, finely minced
- 2 Tbsp parsley freshly chopped
- 1/2 tsp salt sea salt
- 1 pinch black pepper
- 3-7 Tbsp vegan parmesan cheese (or store-bought)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 F (190 C).
- In a small mixing bowl, combine the vegan butter, garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix well until the parsley and garlic are evenly distributed and the butter is slightly softened and spreadable.
- Place ~1 Tbsp of butter mixture on each slice of bread, spreading it evenly, reaching all the way to the edges of the bread. Be generous! Place the bread in a single layer on a large bare baking sheet (for larger bread you may need 2 sheets) — it’s okay if the bread is very close together or touching as long as it’s not overlapping.
- Evenly sprinkle ~1-2 tsp of vegan parmesan cheese on each slice of bread.
- Place the bread in the oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are just turning golden and the vegan parmesan is looking lightly toasty.
- Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes before serving! It's delicious paired with our Easy 1-Pot Tomato Soup, 1-Pot Vegan White Bean Soup, Easy Penne Arrabbiata, Easy Vegan Lasagna, or Chickpea Caesar Salad (30 Minutes!). Enjoy!
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days or in the freezer for up to 1 month. Reheat in the oven at 350 F (176 C) until warmed through, ~5-10 minutes.
Notes
- Use vegan butters like Miyoko's to enhance flavor, but other vegan butter brands will work.
- Select bread types such as sourdough, sandwich, gluten-free, or a halved baguette depending on preference.
- Spread the garlic butter evenly to the edges for uniform flavor in each slice.
- The vegan parmesan cheese adds a toasty finish but can be adjusted between 3-7 tablespoons depending on taste.
- Let the garlic bread cool a few minutes after baking before serving to avoid burns and allow flavors to settle.
