Ingredients

• 12 pieces Fresh oysters, shucked
• 4 tablespoons Vegan butter
• 1 tablespoon Vegan Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped
• 2 teaspoons Lemon juice
• 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
• 2 tablespoons Panko breadcrumbs
• 1 as needed Cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).

Step 2

Carefully shuck the oysters, keeping them on the half shell, and place them on a baking sheet lined with foil, crumpling the foil slightly to keep the oysters stable.

Step 3

In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the vegan butter.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Step 5

Stir in the vegan Parmesan, fresh parsley, lemon juice, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined and remove from heat.

Step 6

Evenly spoon the garlic Parmesan butter mixture over each oyster.

Step 7

Sprinkle each oyster with a small amount of panko breadcrumbs to add a crunchy topping.

Step 8

Lightly spray the tops of the oysters with cooking spray to help the breadcrumbs toast.

Step 9

Bake the oysters in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the breadcrumbs are golden brown and the oysters are just cooked through.

Step 10

Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving.

Step 11

Serve warm with lemon wedges on the side for an added touch of freshness.
