Recipe Notes
For the best flavor, let the garlic butter chill for at least 1 hour before serving.
Use fresh garlic rather than garlic powder for the richest flavor.
Replace the parsley with chives, dill, or thyme for a different flavor profile.
If using salted butter, reduce or omit the added salt.
Garlic butter can be frozen for up to 3 months.
