Ingredients

  • 8 tbsp softened butter salted or unsalted butter
  • 5 garlic cloves
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chives, rosemary, and thyme
  • 1/4 tsp lemon zest
  • salt to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Slice the garlic head in half and place it on a large piece of aluminum foil. Drizzle some olive oil over the garlic and season with salt. Seal the foil and pop it in the oven for 30 minutes. 
  • Once the 30 minutes are up, allow the garlic to cool for at least 20 minutes. Once it's cool enough to handle, squeeze the garlic cloves out and finely mince them.
  • Combine all of the ingredients in a bowl and mix until well combined. Season with salt and check for seasoning. 
  • Place the butter mixture on a piece of plastic wrap and roll it into a log. Twist the ends to seal and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. You can also freeze it for 25-30 minutes.
  • Slice into rounds when ready to use and enjoy! 

Notes

  • If you don't have plastic wrap you can place the butter mixture in a mason jar.
