iNSTRUCTIONS

  1. Roast the garlic.
    Preheat the oven to 400°F. Slice the top off the garlic head, drizzle with SIMPLi Regenerative Organic Certified Greek Olive Oil, sprinkle with SIMPLi Peruvian Herb Salt, and wrap in foil. Roast until soft, golden, and fragrant, about 35–40 minutes. Let cool slightly.
  2. Make the butter base.
    Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves into a bowl with softened butter. Add fresh thyme or rosemary and mix until fully combined.
  3. Prepare the mold.
    Poke a small hole in the bottom of a paper cup and thread an edible wick through, leaving a bit of wick exposed at the top.
  4. Fill and chill.
    Spoon the butter mixture into the cup, pressing gently to remove air pockets. Chill in the refrigerator until completely firm, about 1–2 hours.
  5. Serve.
    Peel away the paper cup, place the butter candle on a heat-safe dish, and light the wick. Let it melt slightly, then dip crusty bread, vegetables, or anything nearby.

Sometimes holiday cooking doesn’t need to be complicated to be memorable. This butter candle is a simple, crowd-pleasing way to bring something a little unexpected to the table. As it melts, roasted garlic, fresh herbs, and rich SIMPLi Regenerative Organic Certified Greek Olive Oil turn into a warm, savory dip that’s perfect for crusty bread, vegetables, or anything nearby. It’s easy to make, easy to share, and built around real ingredients that do the work for you.
