This dairy-free spread combines softened vegan butter with roasted garlic, fresh herbs, and a touch of lemon for a rich, savory condiment. Use it to top bread, baked potatoes, roasted vegetables, or pasta. It comes together in minutes and keeps well in the refrigerator or freezer.

Ingredients

  • 1 head garlic
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil, for roasting garlic
  • 2 cups vegan butter, softened
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chives, finely chopped

  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Slice the top off the garlic head to expose the cloves, drizzle with olive oil, and wrap loosely in foil.

  2. Roast the garlic until the cloves are soft and golden brown, about 35 to 40 minutes.

  3. Let the roasted garlic cool for 10 minutes, then squeeze the softened cloves into a small bowl and mash with a fork into a paste.

  4. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened vegan butter, roasted garlic paste, parsley, chives, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if using.

  5. Mash and stir the mixture with a fork or spatula until the garlic and herbs are evenly distributed throughout the butter.

  6. Transfer the garlic butter to a serving dish, small jar, or roll into a log using parchment paper.

  7. Chill the garlic butter in the refrigerator until firm, at least 1 hour, before serving.
