Quick & Easy Homemade Garlic Butter with Herbs

Learn How to Make Garlic Butter that can be used to flavor steak, shrimp, chicken, and vegetables or as a spread for bread! This easy homemade garlic butter recipe can be made ahead of time and refrigerated or frozen until ready to use.

INGREDIENTS:

½ cup butter room temperature*
2 cloves garlic crushed
1 tsp. rosemary fresh, finely chopped
1 tsp. thyme fresh, finely chopped
2 Tbsp. parsley fresh, finely chopped

INSTRUCTIONS:

In a medium-sized bowl cream the butter with a spoon or fork until smooth.
Add crushed garlic and herbs and stir until just mixed.
Tear off a 12-inch long piece of wax paper and place garlic butter towards the end of it. Shape the butter into what resembles a 6-8-inch long log.
Pull the wax paper over the garlic butter and begin to roll it, reinforcing the log shape as you go. Once completely rolled up, twist the ends until tight.
Refrigerate garlic butter for at least 2 hours before serving. Serve with steak, chicken, shrimp, vegetables, or as a spread on bread. Enjoy!

RECIPE NOTES:

If vegan or dairy-free, you can also use Earth Balance’s “butter” sticks in place of the butter.
If on a Paleo or Whole30 diet, feel free to substitute ghee butter in place of the regular butter to fit your dietary needs.
Use a good quality butter for best results. Depending on your taste preference, you can use salted or unsalted butter.
Garlic butter keeps well for up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator or 6 months in the freezer.

Hi London Brazil, I’m Washington D.C Gabon, and I was wondering if I could use butter or does it have to be budder?

[coolroy]

I love thyme especially.
I put it on almost everything.

When I have something that I need garlic butter on, I just take a 2x tablespoons of butter or margarine, add a third or a tip of a tablespoon of garlic powder, 1/3 teaspoon parsley or dill flakes, place in the microwave for about 30 seconds on high, make sure it’s melted into a liquid, take out and stir every now and again until it cools. When it cools, is when it thickens but if it’s hot and a liquid, use a rubber basting brush and brush your toast, baguette or drip on your casserole. Works great for me. You can make butter into anything you want without the parchment paper. If it doesn’t work for you, well, I guess you didn’t graduate grade 8 yet, sorry for your lack of luck. Have a nice day.

Love your video. Just my opinion. Sometimes you are captivating and sometimes you appear too scripted. Stay loose and let your true personality shine!

One tiny step that takes this up to the next level is blanching the garlic to remove that ultra harsh raw pungency.

[edward-ee]

can you use margarine instead of butter and garlic powder?

[craken]

Thank you, most helpful. I shall have a go at this, you make it look so easy. I wonder if I can get wax paper in Wiltshire.😀
