1 tablespoon (medium) of Herbed butter (15 g) has 109 calories. That works out to 725 calories per 100 g. It contains 0.2 g of carbs, 0.1 g of protein, 12.1 g of fat and 0 g of fiber. Its 97.5 µg of Vitamin A covers 11% of the Daily Value. Its glycemic index is 0 (low), so it raises blood sugar slowly.
Herbed butter is softened butter blended with finely chopped fresh herbs. Parsley, chives, dill or thyme are common choices, and the mixture can be shaped into a log or served soft so it melts easily over warm food.
Its rich, creamy taste is lifted by the herbs’ fresh, savoury aroma. It is often served with bread, grilled meat, fish or vegetables; a small pat also adds flavour to potatoes or corn. Herbed butter is chiefly a source of fat, with 80.5 g of fat per 100 g. Use a little at a time, or mix in extra herbs and lemon zest for a brighter, less buttery-tasting spread.

Herbed butter is butter blended with chopped herbs, creating a fragrant spread or finishing butter. It can be served on bread or added to hot foods, where it melts and releases the herbs’ aroma.
To make herbed butter, mix softened butter with finely chopped herbs until evenly combined. Shape it into a log or place it in a covered container, then chill until firm enough to slice or spread.
Parsley, chives, thyme, dill, and tarragon all work well in herbed butter. Choose herbs that suit the food you are serving, and chop them finely so every portion gets a balanced amount.
Put herbed butter on steak just after cooking, while the meat is still hot. It melts into a flavorful finish; adding it during grilling can cause the butter to burn and the fresh herbs to lose their aroma.
Yes, herbed butter freezes well when wrapped tightly or stored in an airtight container. Freeze it as a log or in small portions, then thaw only what you need in the refrigerator before serving or cooking.
Keep herbed butter covered in the refrigerator and return it there promptly after serving. Fresh herbs make it less suitable for leaving out like a butter dish, so use a clean utensil each time.
Yes, herbed butter can be tossed with hot pasta for a simple, aromatic coating. Add it after draining and stir until it melts; a little pasta cooking water can help the butter cling to the noodles.
Yes, herbed butter can be used to finish cooked foods or gently sauté ingredients. For high-heat cooking, plain oil or another suitable cooking fat is less likely to burn; add herbed butter near the end for its flavor.
Herbed butter is one kind of compound butter: compound butter means butter mixed with additional ingredients. Those ingredients may include herbs, spices, citrus, or other flavorings, while herbed butter specifically features herbs.
Yes, herbed butter works well on roasted, steamed, or grilled vegetables. Toss it with vegetables while they are hot so it melts evenly, or serve a small piece on top just before eating.
