Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 cup Vegan butter substitute
• 6 large Garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Peel and mince the garlic cloves finely or use a garlic press for a smoother texture.

Step 2

In a small saucepan over medium heat, add the olive oil and allow it to warm for about 1 minute.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic to the olive oil and sauté it for 2-3 minutes until the garlic becomes fragrant but not browned.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to low and add the vegan butter substitute to the saucepan. Stir the mixture continuously until the butter substitute has completely melted and combined with the garlic.

Step 5

Add the nutritional yeast to the saucepan and stir it into the mixture until fully dissolved.

Step 6

Pour in the lemon juice and stir until the sauce is smooth and begins to thicken slightly. This should take about 2 minutes.

Step 7

Stir in the chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix everything together until well combined.

Step 8

Allow the sauce to simmer on low heat for an additional 2-3 minutes.

Step 9

Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning with more salt or pepper if desired.

Step 10

Remove the saucepan from heat and let it cool slightly before serving. The sauce can be drizzled over pasta, vegetables, or used as a dip.
