Ingredients

6 slices desired bread
Plant butter soft, spreadable butter is ideal, but you can use olive oil
Nutritional yeast to sprinkle
Garlic powder to generously sprinkle
Few pinches flaky sea salt
Few pinches crushed red pepper flakes optional

Instructions

Prepare the baking sheet: Place a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 450°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. (This is optional if you'd rather bake directly on the sheet).
Season the bread: Place the bread on the baking sheet and, using a butter knife, butter the slices from edge to edge. If using olive oil, drizzle evenly or use a pastry brush to get an even layer. Once evenly buttered (or oiled), sprinkle over a very light dusting of nutritional yeast and a heavier sprinkling of garlic powder (I love California-syle garlic powder). Then finish each piece of bread with a pinch of flaky salt and red pepper flakes (if using).
Bake: Bake until golden brown, crispy, and delicious, about 10-15 minutes.

Notes

You can use slices of bread, a baguette or ciabatta sliced open, the options are fairly endless!

You can add a teaspoon of minced fresh garlic for even more flavor and you can add a sprinkling of vegan cheese shreds to make it garlic cheese toast!
