Ingredients

Scale

Bread

  • 1 fresh baguette or Italian bread loaf

Garlic Butter Mixture

  • 4–5 fresh garlic cloves, finely minced
  • 4 tablespoons plant-based buttery, softened
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped (or basil)
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural) – optional

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Garlic Butter Mixture: Finely mince fresh garlic cloves and mix them with softened plant-based buttery, a pinch of sea salt, black pepper, and chopped fresh parsley. Add vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural) if desired. Stir well to create a spreadable fragrant garlic butter.
  2. Slice the Bread: Cut the baguette or Italian bread into thick slices about 1 to 1.5 inches each to ensure a crispy exterior and soft interior.
  3. Spread and Season: Generously spread the garlic butter mixture over each bread slice, covering all surfaces. Arrange the slices on a parchment paper-lined baking tray for easy cleanup.
  4. Bake Until Golden: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the bread for 12-15 minutes until the edges turn golden brown and the bread is crisp outside but tender inside. For extra crunch, broil for an additional 1-2 minutes while watching carefully.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Serve warm alongside your favorite dishes. Optionally, sprinkle fresh herbs on top before serving for a bright finish.

Notes

  • Use fresh garlic cloves for the brightest, most aromatic flavor.
  • Softened plant-based buttery makes mixing and spreading easier.
  • Arrange bread slices spaced out on the tray for even crispiness.
  • Monitor closely near the end of baking to avoid burning.
  • Enhance flavor with extra fresh herbs like thyme or oregano if desired.
