Complete any meal with your own homemade Vegan Garlic Bread. Made with tons of herby flavor like garlic, parsley, basil, and more!

If there’s one appetizer or side dish that makes any meal better, it’s garlic bread. From the savory flavors to the intense butter and the herb garnishes, garlic bread takes the cake.

And this garlic bread? Well, this bread isn’t your standard bread-on-butter appetizer. No, it’s so much more. This recipe is an easy vegan alternative that cuts the bread into a fan and pours the garlic mixture in! This method ensures that each square centimeter is coated in decadent flavor, and it allows for easy baking and garlic on both sides!

ingredients in this buttery garlic bread

You just need a handful of ingredients to make your own vegan garlic bread at home!

  • Sourdough Bread: First up, you will need 1 loaf of sourdough bread. And while I personally love sourdough with this recipe, you can use any bread your prefer (like white, whole wheat, or ciabatta!)
  • Butter: Next, you’ll need ½ cup of vegan butter/margarine.
  • Garlic: For the garlic portion, use 6 cloves of minced garlic. Feeling fancy? Use our Garlic Confit here (you can use the oil it cooked in to replace the butter!)
  • Seasonings: Next, add flavor with ½ teaspoon each of onion powder, dried basil, and dried parsley. Follow that with ¼ teaspoon each of oregano and salt.

How to make homemade vegan garlic bread

The secret to this garlic bread happens in steps 2 and 4. First, we’ll slice the loaf without cutting all the way through. When we get to step 4, we’ll pour the butter mixture inside, which creates a hasselback potato-style garlic bread. Each bite is coated with delicious flavor!

  1. Heat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (176°C).
  2. Slice the bread: Cut bread into slices, making sure not to cut all the way through the loaf to keep the slices intact at the bottom. Place the loaf on a large piece of aluminum foil.
  3. Stir the butter and flavorings: Melt the vegan butter in the microwave (in 10 second bursts to prevent any butter explosions). Stir in all of the remaining ingredients.
  4. Garnish the bread: Spoon the butter mixture into each of the cracks. Wrap the loaf in foil.
  5. Bake: Bake for 15 minutes, then unwrap the foil and bake for another 5 minutes.

How to Get crispier bread

Craving extra crispy garlic bread? For bread that has the most perfect crunch around the edges, bake as described above. Then, slice the pieces completely through and lay the slices in a single flat layer, broiling until golden brown! Bon appétit!

What to serve with vegan garlic bread

In sticking with the classics, serve up this buttery bread with these Italian and pasta dishes for the most perfect comfort meals.

  • Go Italian with some Easy Vegan Meatballs, Vegetable Bolognese, or Vegetable Baked Ziti.
  • Serve it with soup, like this Broccoli Cauliflower Soup or a Wild Rice Soup!

Or level up your garlic bread by topping it with Gremolata after cooking!
