Is garlic butter vegan?

Traditional garlic butter is made with dairy butter. This version uses dairy-free butter, so it is vegan.

Can I use salted vegan butter?

Yes. If you use salted butter, start with less added salt, then taste and adjust.

Can I use dried parsley instead of fresh?

Yes. Use a smaller amount (about 1/3 teaspoon) since dried herbs are more concentrated. Mix well so it distributes evenly.

How do I make this butter spreadable right out of the fridge?

Let it sit at room temperature for about 10 to 15 minutes, then stir to soften.

Can I roast the garlic first?

Yes. Roasted garlic will make the flavor sweeter and less sharp. Mash it into the butter, then mix until uniform.
