Wheat Free Classic Garlic Butter
Garlic butter is one of those kitchen staples that makes almost everything taste better — from seared steak and roasted vegetables to crusty bread and grilled seafood. Store-bought compound butters often sneak in additives or fillers that can be a real concern when you're avoiding wheat, but this version is made entirely from scratch with clean, straightforward ingredients you can trust. Softened unsalted butter gets whipped until fluffy, then folded together with fresh minced garlic, bright parsley, a hint of lemon zest, and a little heat from optional red pepper flakes. The result is rich, aromatic, and deeply savory in a way that feels genuinely restaurant-worthy. Rolling it into a log and chilling it means you always have a ready-to-slice round on hand whenever dinner needs a finishing touch. It keeps in the fridge for up to a week, so one quick batch goes a long way.
