Garlic roasted and mashed, added to butter with fresh herbs and spices, makes the most mouth watering garlic bread ever!
Summer cookouts are complete when whatever tasty grilled main dish accompanies garlic bread. My favorite summer dinners are simply a perfectly grilled steak or chicken breast, a nice salad, a baked potato and a crusty loaf of toasted garlic bread.
I dreamt up a burger recently deemed the “Italian Burger.” It is made on a garlic bread bun! Holy buckets, people it was so good!
Sure, I could have made garlic bread with regular ol garlic powder – but I wanted that fresh roasted garlic flavor. I decided it was time to christen my new garlic baker. I had always roasted garlic in foil … I am so tickled I don’t have to do that anymore. This thing rocks!
Simply place the bulbs in the bottom of the baker, drizzle with olive oil and Italian seasoning. Place the terracotta lid over the top and roast in the oven. You house will smell amazing! Squeeze the cloves out of the bulbs and mash to make the butter.
Mashed garlic.
Once it’s all combined, spread over Italian loaves, and bake or grill.
Take it one step further and top with with Mozzarella cheese before baking. More cheese? Yes, Please!
Speaking of butter .. last summer I made these Herb Butter Filet Mignon .. and OH MY!! Were they good! Perfectly done. Every. Single. Time.
Another great butter recipe — I made this cherry butter to spread over the top of my Homemade Popovers .. Swoon!
Let’s not forget about my Copy Cat Texas Roadhouse Cinnamon Honey Butter!! I made this recipe for Thanksgiving a couple of years back, and it was so good, we make it all of the time now!
My friend, Michele, from West Via Midwest has a couple of recipes that have some pretty amazing butters, too!! Do yourself a favor and check out her Cajun Shrimp Appetizer–A simple yet impressive recipe that mimic’s Ruth’s Chris famous Spicy BBQ Shrimp. It’s full of flavor from garlic, spices and Cajun butter drizzled over the top of succulent shrimp. Also this Grilled Steak with Bourbon Garlic Butter -Melted Bourbon Garlic butter blankets seared on the outside, juicy, tender on the inside steaks for an easy BBQ meal for entertaining.

Ohhh I get made fun of because I use so much garlic because I love it that much! I love everything about this butter! Roasting the garlic brings out the most incredible flavor and I like your addition of paprika! Never tried that one before! Great recipe!
I love compound butters, they add so much with so little effort. This looks delicious, I love roasted garlic – yum!!!
I love the way whole garlic gets buttery soft when roasted! Perfect on bread, but I also love to slather this on grilled zucchini!
Can’t get much better than roasted garlic because that mellow nutty flavor just pairs so well with just about anything! So many uses for this I don’t know where to start!
Holy Buckets is right! I can’t think of anything that makes grilled food better than a combination of butter and garlic. The possibilities for this simple but flavorful enhancement are endless! Thanks for the great idea!!1
You’re so welcome!!
Oh my gosh this looks amazing! I sould slather this on everything – bread, potatoes, tofu, corn on the cob! Yum!
The flavor of roasted garlic is so amazing! I’d lather this amazing butter on everything!
My love for garlic runs deep! I could slather this butter on just about anything! Great recipe!
I laugh at your comment about storing the leftovers in the fridge… lol.. you think there will be leftovers? Not at our garlic loving house! We’ll use a whole batch on steak and corn for dinner!!
I’ll definitely be roasting up some garlic to make this. What a great flavor addition! I love how easy it is too, can’t wait to give this a try!
