Start by ensuring your butter is softened at room temperature. This makes it easier to work with.
In a mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, finely chopped parsley, a pinch of salt, and a dash of black pepper.
Use a fork or spoon to blend all the ingredients thoroughly until you achieve a smooth and homogenous mixture.
Lay out a piece of plastic wrap or parchment paper. Place the garlic butter mixture in the center.
Roll the plastic wrap or parchment paper, forming the mixture into a log shape.
Twist the ends to seal the garlic butter log.
Refrigerate it for at least an hour, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Once chilled and solid, slice your garlic butter into rounds and serve with your favorite dishes.
