Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup butter (room temperature)
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon dried chives
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Instructions

- To use this as a dip, microwave the butter for 15-30 seconds, until melted, and eat warm as a dip or for drizzling over roasted veggies.
- Store in the fridge for up to 1 week.
