In a mixing bowl, combine warm water, active dry yeast, and sugar. Stir gently and let it sit for about 10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
Once the yeast is activated, add in the olive oil, salt, and all-purpose flour. Mix well until a dough begins to form.
Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean tea towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 60 minutes or until it has doubled in size.
Once risen, punch down the dough to remove the air bubbles and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface.
Divide the dough into 12 equal portions. Roll each portion into a 7-inch long stick.
Place the breadsticks onto a lined baking sheet, cover with a towel, and let them rise for another 15-20 minutes until slightly puffed.
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Melt the vegan butter in a small saucepan or microwave. Mix in the garlic powder and dried parsley.
Brush the breadsticks generously with half of the melted garlic butter mixture, reserving the other half for later.
Sprinkle the breadsticks with a pinch of additional salt.
Bake the breadsticks in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
Immediately after baking, brush the hot breadsticks with the remaining garlic butter mixture.
Serve warm and enjoy these delicious, fluffy vegan breadsticks.
