Ingredients
- 1 cup vegan butter
- 5 garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Mince the garlic cloves finely to prepare them for sautéing.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, melt the vegan butter over medium heat.
Step 3
Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and sauté for about 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently. Be sure not to let the garlic burn, as it will become bitter.
Step 4
Stir in the nutritional yeast, lemon juice, and unsweetened almond milk. Combine well and allow the mixture to come to a gentle simmer.
Step 5
Let the sauce simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.
Step 6
Stir in the chopped fresh parsley, salt, and black pepper. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
Step 7
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the sauce cool slightly before serving. This will help it thicken a bit more.
Step 8
Serve warm over pasta, steamed vegetables, or use as a dipping sauce for vegan breadsticks.
