    I am a garlic girl. I almost always double the garlic in a recipe and am always looking for fun ways to use it. And, I love to make Vegan Garlic Knots or Vegan Garlic Butter to cook with. And maybe my favorite garlicky dish is my Vegan Garlic Butter Roasted Cauliflower Steaks. They are truly incredible.

    And now I have this simple and quick cheesy Vegan Garlic Bread. It's perfect for anyone who is dairy-free but misses the taste of the garlic bread they remember from their childhood. But, dare I say, even better! And it's perfect for when you're craving a slice of Vegan Focaccia, but you only have a few minutes.

    Why You'll Love This Recipe

    I know you are going to absolutely love this dairy free garlic bread. Here is why

    • You only need 5 ingredients to make it.
    • It only takes 10 minutes.
    • The garlic bread has plenty of vegan cheese.
    • It goes with everything!
    • It has a crisp crust but a soft and tender interior.

    Ingredient Notes

    Ingredients for making Vegan Cheesy Garlic Bread.

    Ciabatta: I use ciabatta for my vegan garlic bread because I love the texture. It has larger air pockets than a baguette which makes it stay softer.

    Vegan Butter: My top pick for this is Country Crock Plant Butter. Its delicious and easy to find.

    Garlic: This recipe has big garlic flavor!

    Vegan Parmesan Cheese: I only recommend Follow Your Heart Parmesan Cheese for this recipe. Specifically the grated kind. Its definitely the most delicious vegan cheese.

    Step-by-Step Instructions

    A white bowl with dairy-free butter, garlic and chives in it.

    Step 1. Combine the vegan garlic butter ingredients in a bowl.

    Vegan Garlic Butter all mixed together in a white bowl with a spatula in it.

    Step 2. Mix the garlic butter together.

    A loaf of ciabatta sliced in half on a baking sheet.

    Step 3. Slice the ciabatta in half.

    Vegan Garlic Butter spread onto the ciabatta.

    Step 4. Evenly spread the vegan garlic butter onto each half of the ciabatta.

    Vegan cheese sprinkled onto the vegan garlilc butter.

    Step 5. Top each half with a big sprinkle of dairy free parmesan cheese.

    The finished dairy-free vegan cheesy garlic bread.

    Step 6. And broil until browned.

    What to Serve it With

    This Vegan Cheesy Garlic Bread recipe is delicious with just about everything, but here are my favorites:

    • Serve it with Vegan Parsley Scallion Pesto or Hearty Marinara Sauce for dipping.
    • Eat it along side some Vegan Leek and Kale Risotto.
    • As a side dish with Vegan Harissa Butter Cauliflower Steaks.
    • Serve it with a bowl of Vegan Puttanesca with Rigatoni.
    • And its delicious with any soups like my Vegan Roasted Garlic Tomato Soup or Carrot Red Lentil Soup!

    Recipe FAQs

    How should I store this Vegan Garlic Bread?

    To store the finished garlic bread, place it into an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven or in a toaster oven to serve.

    Can I make this dairy free garlic bread recipe ahead of time?

    Yes! Mix the garlic butter together and store it in the refrigerator for up to a week before you want to use it. Then when you want garlic bread, just spread it onto some ciabatta and broil.

    Expert Tips

    I broil the garlic bread because it creates a nice crust while the interior of the ciabatta stays soft.

    Everyones broiler is different, so keep a close eye on the dairy free garlic bread as it broils.

    Do not line your baking sheet with parchment for this recipe. It will catch fire under the broiler!

    Notes

    If you don't have a rasp grater or microplane, no worries! Just mince your garlic.
    Keep a close eye on your broiler! Things can burn really quickly, so be sure to check after 1 minute, then every 30 seconds after that.
