2 cloves garlic , minced
1 teaspoon parsley , minced
1 teaspoon green onion , minced (or chives)
⅛ teaspoon salt

Melted Garlic Butter

½ cup vegan butter
2 cloves garlic , minced

Instructions

Solid Garlic Butter/ Spread

If mixing by hand, let vegan butter sit out for 20-30 minutes to soften and warm closer to room temperature.
½ cup vegan butter
Mince the garlic, parsley and green onion/ chives. Stir in the garlic, parsley, green onion and salt to the softened vegan butter.
2 cloves garlic, 1 teaspoon parsley, 1 teaspoon green onion, ⅛ teaspoon salt
Place butter into fridge to harden/ set.
This garlic butter has a strong flavor and is best served after cooking (so the garlic flavor becomes milder). If you want to serve raw, consider using half as much garlic or garlic powder to taste.
You can also whip all the ingredients using a hand mixer. If you do this, the butter doesn’t need to be brought to room temperature (you can whip it straight from the fridge).

Melted Garlic Butter

Place all ingredients into a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 10 second intervals, until the butter starts to sizzle a bit. Takes about 40 seconds overall, depending on the microwave.

The garlic cooks while being heated, creating a slightly more mild flavor but it’s still quite pungent.
You can also melt the ingredients together in a small pot on the stove, over medium-low heat. Melt until the butter starts to sizzle a bit (or longer if you want the garlic cooked more).
