1
Melt the Butter
In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Ensure that it does not boil to maintain its creamy texture.
2
Prepare the Garlic
While the butter is melting, peel and finely chop the garlic cloves. If you prefer a stronger garlic flavor, you can crush them instead.

3
Combine Ingredients
Once the butter has melted, add the chopped garlic to the saucepan. Stir the mixture gently to combine.
4
Sauté the Garlic
Cook the garlic in the melted butter over low heat for about 2-3 minutes, or until it becomes fragrant and slightly golden. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
5
Add Seasonings
Once the garlic is cooked, remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in the chopped fresh parsley, salt, and black pepper to the garlic butter mixture.

6
Cool and Store
Let the garlic butter cool slightly before transferring it to an airtight container. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.
7
Use as Desired
Use this garlic butter to enhance the flavors of your dishes, such as spreading it on bread, drizzling over vegetables, or using it as a sauce for pasta.
