How to make vegan garlic butter
Step 1 – Allow your vegan butter to warm on the countertop for about 1/2 hour before making or pop it into the microwave for 10-15 seconds to warm up, but not melt.
Step 2 – To a medium-sized bowl add 1/2 cup of vegan butter, 4 cloves minced garlic, 2 tablespoons fresh chopped parsley, and 1 tablespoon fresh chopped chives (or green onion.)
Step 3 – Stir until well combined, and use it as you would butter on savory foods.
How to use plant-based garlic butter
Use this garlic butter to make vegan garlic bread or vegan garlic knots, or use it as an alternative to plain butter on any savory dish, such as mashed potatoes, vegan garlic noodles, or pierogies.
Pro Tips
- To add a little cheesy flavor to your dairy-free garlic butter, try adding 2 teaspoons of nutritional yeast or vegan parmesan along with the garlic and herbs.
- When using garlic butter in cooking or baking, be careful not to overheat the butter since the smoke point is lower than that of oil, and the garlic and herbs can also burn.
How to store garlic butter
Refrigerate: Vegan garlic butter will keep well in the fridge for up to a week in an airtight container.
Freeze: Herbed garlic butter can be stored in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months.
