Ingredients

Scale

Bread

  • 1 fresh baguette

Roasted Garlic

  • 1 whole garlic bulb (for roasting)
  • Salt, to taste

Garlic Butter Mixture

  • 4 tablespoons plant-based butter
  • Roasted garlic cloves, squeezed from bulb (about 2 tablespoons)
  • 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Additional Ingredients

  • 3 slices smoked turkey bacon
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan (plant-based)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley leaves, chopped

Instructions

  1. Roast the Garlic: Preheat oven to 400°F. Wrap a whole garlic bulb tightly in foil and roast for 35-40 minutes until soft and golden. Allow to cool, then gently squeeze out the roasted garlic cloves for use in the garlic butter.
  2. Prepare the Garlic Butter Mixture: In a bowl, combine plant-based butter, roasted garlic cloves, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), salt, and pepper. Mash and mix thoroughly until creamy and well blended.
  3. Cook the Smoked Turkey Bacon: Lightly pan-fry smoked turkey bacon slices until just crispy. Chop into bite-sized pieces and fold into the garlic butter mixture to add a smoky flavor.
  4. Assemble the Bread: Slice the baguette lengthwise. Spread the garlic butter mixture evenly over both cut sides. Sprinkle grated Parmesan (plant-based) generously and scatter fresh parsley leaves on top.
  5. Bake the Garlic Bread: Place the prepared bread on a baking sheet and bake at 375°F for 10-12 minutes until the edges are golden and the cheese has melted into a bubbly topping.
  6. Serve Warm: Cut the garlic bread into slices and serve immediately to enjoy the best taste and texture.

Notes

  • Roast garlic slowly to bring out a mellow, sweet flavor without bitterness.
  • Use fresh baguette for optimal moisture absorption and texture.
  • Incorporate smoked turkey bacon for a smoky aroma that enhances overall flavor.
  • Spread the garlic butter mixture evenly over the bread for consistent flavor.
  • Watch the baking time closely to avoid drying out the bread; pull out when edges are golden and cheese is melted.
