Method

1. Preheat your oven to 350F (180C).
2. In a small bowl, mix together the butter, garlic, parsley, and salt. Spread the butter evenly over the surface of each loaf half. For classic garlic bread without the cheese, skip to the baking step. For cheesy vegan garlic bread, divide the shredded cheese evenly among the two loaf halves and spread the cheese. It's ok if it isn't perfect, it will be easier to spread once baked a little.
3. Bake uncovered for 10 minutes. If needed you can use a knife or spoon to spread the cheese a little more after baking. You can optionally brown the cheese by turning your oven to broil, and placing it under the broiler for 1 - 2 minutes. Keep a close eye on it so it doesn't burn. (There is no need to broil the classic cheeseless version.) Slice into strips and serve alongside your favorite pasta or a veggie pizza.
