These salty, golden brown, crispy hunks of bread are crunchy on the outside and slightly chewy on the inside, generously saturated with a cheezy coating, customizably garlicky, and honestly just really addicting and hard not to eat right off the pan. I don’t really know how else to describe how good they are except to tell you that when I made these with our team, we kind of all just stood around eating them fresh out of the oven like they were a meal in and of itself. And that wasn’t wrong of us. But oh, hey, did you catch that? I’m acting casual here, but cheezy = cheez = not real cheese! That’s right, these babies are fully vegan and dairy free. Nutritional yeast – something I rarely buy – is popping in for a quick and really delicious hello. And also making a strong case for its permanent place in my pantry. Okay. Can we just take a closer look at those again? YUM CITY. And so stupidly easy! First: mix up your “coating” of olive oil, nutritional yeast, salt, garlic powder. Next, toss the bread in there. I use my hands to really massage it into the bread because these are my priorities in life. And finally, bake. These could not be easier, and (as mentioned earlier) HIGHLY addictive, and they could really go with anything. I’d start with making these as a topper for golden soup (vegan), broccoli cheese soup (vegan), tomato soup, cheesy cauliflower soup with kale pesto, sunflower kitchen sink salad (vegan), chipotle summer cobb salad, and oh my gosh the list could go on. ALSO PLEASE BE ADVISED: These will be used in an extremely delicious salad recipe tomorrow! Just giving you a head start.
