Garlic Butter Sauce
A rich, velvety garlic butter sauce with golden roasted garlic, fresh herbs, and a squeeze of lemon — ready in 10 minutes and perfect on everything.
Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter 1 stick
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon fresh parsley chopped
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat until fully melted and just beginning to foam.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for 1–2 minutes, stirring constantly, until fragrant and just turning golden.
- Add the lemon juice, onion powder, black pepper, and salt. Stir to combine.
- Remove from heat and stir in the fresh parsley. Serve immediately or keep warm on lowest heat.
Notes
- Don't let the garlic brown too much — golden is perfect, dark is bitter.
- Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a subtle kick.
- Store in an airtight jar in the fridge for up to 5 days. Reheat gently before serving.
