- Simple. This recipe is quite simple to prepare and yields plenty to be used in a variety of recipes.
Ingredients
This recipe shines with only a few simple ingredients.

- Lemon Zest: The lemony brightness cuts through the creaminess, giving the seasoning an extra punch.
How To Make Roasted Garlic Butter Seasoning
- The garlic should be roasted. Put your garlic in the oven to roast it first. You will only need a small pan, some foil, garlic, and olive oil if you have never done this before. Mash a whole head of garlic cloves until they are tender and smooth.
- Mix. In a small bowl, combine the roasted garlic, lemon zest, sea salt, chopped parsley, thyme, rosemary, and softened butter.
- Combine. Stir the garlic butter herb mixture until all the ingredients are evenly distributed and thoroughly mixed.
- Shop. You can experiment with it in a variety of recipes because this recipe yields a respectable amount. Garlic butter can be frozen for up to three months or kept in the fridge for up to one month in an airtight container.
Variations And Substitutions
- Make use of raw garlic. I think the secret to this is roasting the garlic, but you can use raw garlic if you don't have the time or don't want to fool with it. To keep it from becoming too overwhelming, just mince it thoroughly.
- Add Italian seasoning and garlic powder. You can always use a teaspoon of garlic powder and a teaspoon of Italian spice to make a dried garlic butter seasoning mix if you don't want to fuss with fresh garlic and herbs.
- Put some cheese on it. For added taste, add some freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
- Put some spiciness in there. For an added kick, add crushed red pepper flakes or a touch of paprika.
- Turn it into a sauce. You may melt this and use it as a sauce for a variety of meat or seafood meals, but I really enjoy it as a condiment or spread.
- Make it look lovely! To make a beautiful presentation, form the butter into a log, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for half an hour, or until the butter has slightly solidified. After that, slice the butter after rolling it in more herbs. If you're hosting an elegant dinner, this looks fantastic on the table!
