• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary, finely chopped
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.125 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Lemon zest

Directions

Step 1

1. Begin by ensuring your butter is at room temperature. This makes it easier to blend with the other ingredients.

Step 2

2. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened unsalted butter with the minced garlic using a fork or spoon.

Step 3

3. Add the chopped parsley, thyme leaves, rosemary, salt, black pepper, and lemon zest to the bowl.

Step 4

4. Mix all the ingredients thoroughly until the herbs and garlic are evenly distributed throughout the butter.

Step 5

5. Taste your herbed garlic butter and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or lemon zest to suit your preference.

Step 6

6. Transfer the mixture onto a piece of parchment paper or plastic wrap. Shape it into a log and tightly wrap it, twisting the ends to seal.

Step 7

7. Chill the butter in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up, or until ready to use.

Step 8

8. Once firm, slice the herbed garlic butter into rounds or use as desired. Pair it with warm bread, steaks, seafood, or roasted vegetables for a burst of flavor.
