Garlic Butter Recipe

If you're looking for a quick way to bring bold, irresistible flavor to your table, this garlic butter recipe is the answer. It comes together with just a few simple ingredients: butter, garlic, herbs and spices, and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese. The result is a rich, decadent spread that enhances anything you pair it with, including potatoes, toast, pasta, steak, and more.

• 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
• 1 tablespoon minced garlic, or more to taste
• ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon garlic salt, or more to taste
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, or more to taste
• ½ teaspoon ground black pepper, or more to taste
• ¼ teaspoon ground paprika, or more to taste

The easiest way to mince garlic is to use a grater. Or alternatively, after peeling, you can smash the garlic clove with the flat side of a knife, then mince it with the knife using a rocking motion.

Combine softened butter, Parmesan cheese, and minced garlic in a bowl until well combined.

Mix in garlic salt, Italian seasoning, pepper, and paprika until smooth and well combined.

Taste and adjust seasonings.

To store garlic butter, transfer it to a shallow, airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to one week. You can also freeze garlic butter for up to 3 months.
