Create rich, flavorful garlic butter easily at home. This compound butter uses simple ingredients and works wonderfully on bread, steak, pasta, or vegetables. You can customize it with herbs or a little spice.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 6 cloves garlic, finely minced (or roasted for deeper flavor)
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon coarse salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (optional, for brightness)

Instructions

  1. Place the softened butter into a medium bowl.
  2. Add the minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper to the butter.
  3. If you are using it, stir in the lemon juice now.
  4. Use a fork or spatula to mix all ingredients together until they are completely combined and the butter is uniformly colored.
  5. Taste the mixture and adjust salt or garlic to your preference.
  6. Transfer the garlic butter onto a sheet of plastic wrap or parchment paper.
  7. Roll the butter into a tight log shape. Twist the ends to seal it securely.
  8. Chill the log in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up before slicing or using.

Notes

  • For a restaurant-style flavor, consider roasting the garlic first before mincing and mixing it in.
  • Store homemade garlic butter in the refrigerator for up to two weeks or freeze it for up to three months.
  • To make a spicy version, add 1/2 teaspoon of red pepper flakes with the other seasonings.
  • Always use high-quality butter for the best taste outcome.
