What’s In These Vegan Garlic Bread Sticks?
- All Purpose Flour
- Water: use warm tap water or heat up distilled or bottled, whatever you would normally drink.
- Extra virgin olive oil
- Sugar: I used a white granulated, but you can try subbing in a natural sweetener too.
- Garlic Powder: one of my favorite spices, garlic powder is great to knead into the dough to give this bread a garlic flavor from the inside out!
- Yeast: I used active dry yeast, which is what I use for my 4 ingredient no knead bread.
- Garlic Salt: sprinkled on top for a fun finish and great garlic flavor!
Sheet Pan Breadsticks For the Win!
These vegan garlic breadsticks are the perfect sheet pan side dish! I love a good sheet pan meal, especially during these winter months when the weather starts to turn cooler. Cooking on a sheetpan is one of my favorite ways to get a meal on the table fast!
All the food gets cooked on a single pan, which makes cleaning up a breeze. And the oven does all the work for you, so you can focus on other kitchen prep while the food cooks. Sheetpan meals are awesome for breakfast, lunch, or dinner – check out my link here to see other healthy sheet pan meals that are ready in no time!
How Do I Make These Olive Garden Copycat Breadsticks Vegan?
- In a glass bowl, mix the water, olive oil, sugar, garlic powder, and yeast. Stir and allow to sit for 5 minutes for yeast to activate.
- Add the flour and salt and stir until dough forms into a sticky ball. Cover with a kitchen towel and allow to rise for 2 hours until warm.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Diving dough into 12 equal balls, roll each ball into a 8-inch long breadstick. Place each breadstick on the baking sheet, and brush with olive oil and a small pinch or garlic salt each.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes in the oven until the breadsticks begin to brown at the top… mangia!
