Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 head of garlic, roasted
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F. Wrap a head of garlic in aluminum foil and roast for approximately 30-35 minutes, or until the cloves are soft and golden brown. Allow it to cool, then squeeze out the roasted cloves into a bowl and mash them into a paste.
