This homemade garlic butter is an easy way to add flavor to any meal. It is full of fresh herbs and buttery, garlicy, goodness! You can use this as butter or melt it and have it as a dipping sauce for seafood, or dipped into a delicious pizza like my Chicken Pesto Pizza!
Recipe Ingredients
Chives – Chives have a very mild onion flavor with a hint of garlic to them which is why it pairs so well with the garlic in this recipe! Parsley – Parsley is a classic spice. It has a very clean and earthy taste to it. Tarragon – Tarragon is not as common as the other spices but still has a great flavor profile of being slightly sweet and also having a mild bitter undertone. It goes great in this recipe and in my Sweet and Savory Vegetarian Cornish Pasties. For all ingredients and amounts please see the recipe card below.
