Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 whole head of garlic
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Garlic: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the top off the garlic head to expose the cloves. Drizzle with a bit of olive oil, wrap in aluminum foil, and roast in the oven for about 30-35 minutes until soft and golden.
  2. Make the Garlic Butter: Once the garlic is cool enough to handle, squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of their skins into a bowl. Add the softened butter and salt, then mix thoroughly until well combined.
  3. Store or Serve: Use the roasted garlic butter immediately as a spread or flavor enhancer, or place it in a container and refrigerate for up to a week.

Notes

  • Roasting garlic mellows its sharpness and adds a sweet, nutty flavor.
  • Use unsalted butter to control the saltiness of the final product.
  • This butter can be frozen in small portions for longer storage.
