(As you can see from this pic, mah garlic was gonna sprout soon. Still usable and delish! No waste here.)

2) Place in oven (or toaster oven, as I did) at 350° for about 45 minutes.

Place in an airtight container (I use either these smaller, easy to use, mason jars or the container shown in pic below.) and store in the fridge.

NOTE:The butter will continue to deepen in flavor as it sits in fridge, so if you are planning to use it for a special meal, make it a week in advance for a full-on flavor explosion.

SECONDARY NOTE: There are lots of recipes for garlic butter that don’t include roasting the garlic. I have made those as well, but this version is my favorite. It produces a complex flavor that raw garlic can’t touch.

Now, pass the bread and let’s do this thang!
