What’s In this Vegan Avocado Garlic Bread Recipe?
- Bread: Use gluten free bread if you are coeliac or do not eat gluten
- Garlic: I use fresh garlic when I have it, and this great jarred organic garlic when I don’t have fresh. It’s actually super convenient to have pre-chopped garlic on hand for quick and easy meal prep.
- Garlic Powder: Also a major pantry staple ingredient that get used in our house daily! I love this garlic powder and add it to a lot of recipes that I would use fresh garlic in too.
- Olive Oil: I like to use this fruity Zoe olive oil which has a fantastic flavor and deep color- it’s really inexpensive online here, so I keep a few liters stocked up in my pantry. For the quality of oil you get, it’s an excellent value, I would highly recommend!
- Red Chili Pepper Flakes: for a little heat in this great side dish recipe.
- Ripe Avocado
- Garlic Salt: for a little extra flavor than traditional salt. I like to use this garlic salt in my savory Italian dishes for that extra kick.
Make Garlic Bread with Avocado on a Sheet Pan
This garlic bread with avocado is the perfect sheet pan side dish! I love a good sheet pan meal, especially during these summer months when the weather starts to turn warmer. 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 Garlic Bread with Avocado?
- Place the slices of bread on a sheet pan, and set aside.
- In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, garlic powder, olive oil, and red pepper flakes. Stir well, and set aside.
- Place the sheet pan with the bread in the oven and broil on low for 2-3 minutes until the top turns lightly brown.
- Remove bread from oven and flip the bread, so the toasted side is down. Brush each of the slices of bread with the garlic and olive oil mixture, saving about 1/2 of the mixture for later. Place the bread back into the oven and broil for 2-3 minutes until golden brown, but keep an eye so the bread doesn’t burn.
- Mash the avocado in the dish with the remaining garlic and olive oil mixture until well combined. Add a pinch of garlic salt for flavor.
- When the garlic bread has finished toasting, top with the avocado, sprinkle on a few additional chili flakes, and enjoy warm!
