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?

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
4. 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.
5. Bake for 12-15 minutes in the oven until the breadsticks begin to brown at the top… mangia!
