Secret Garlic Hack

Ingredients

• 30 cloves Garlic Cloves (peeled; roughly 2 cups loosely packed)
• 250 ml Vegetable Oil (use a neutral oil such as canola, sunflower, or grapeseed; enough to fully cover the garlic in the pan)
• 1 tsp Sea Salt (optional, to season the toasted garlic)

Instructions

1. Peel the Garlic

   Separate the garlic heads, trim the root ends, and peel each clove. You should have about 30 peeled cloves.

   Time: PT5M

2. Combine Garlic and Oil

   Add the peeled garlic cloves to the saucepan and pour in the vegetable oil, ensuring the cloves are fully submerged.

   Time: PT1M

3. Cook Until Golden‑Brown

   Place the pan over medium heat. When the oil begins to bubble gently, stir the garlic occasionally and adjust the heat as needed. Cook for 7‑10 minutes until the cloves turn a light golden‑brown and become fragrant.

   Time: PT10M

4. Rest Off the Heat

   Remove the pan from the burner and let the garlic sit in the hot oil for 5 minutes. This finishes the cooking gently and deepens the flavor.

   Time: PT5M

5. Separate Garlic and Oil

   Using the fine mesh strainer, pour the contents into a heat‑proof bowl. Press the garlic gently to extract as much oil as possible, then transfer the oil to a clean glass jar. Spread the toasted garlic on a plate and let cool.

   Time: PT2M

6. Store and Serve

   Seal the jar of garlic oil and store in the refrigerator. Use the toasted garlic as a garnish or mix it into sauces. Enjoy!
