Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Trim the top off 1 head of garlic to expose the tops of the cloves and remove any loose outer papery layers.
  3. Place the garlic head on a sheet of foil, drizzle with 1 teaspoon olive oil over the exposed cloves, wrap the garlic tightly in the foil, and set the foil packet on a baking sheet.
  4. Roast in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, or until the garlic cloves are soft and caramelized.
  5. Remove the foil packet from the oven and allow the garlic to cool until it is cool enough to handle (about 10–15 minutes). Unwrap the garlic and squeeze the roasted cloves out of their skins into a bowl.
  6. Mash the roasted garlic cloves with a fork until mostly smooth.
  7. Add 1 stick unsalted butter (softened), 1 teaspoon fresh parsley (finely chopped), and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt to the mashed garlic. Stir or beat until well combined.
  8. Use the roasted garlic butter immediately or transfer to a container and store in the refrigerator.
