PREPARATION SUGGESTIONS

MINCED FRESH

Mince or press and add to sautés, marinades, and dressings. Let rest ~10 minutes after mincing to maximize allicin.

ROASTED WHOLE

Trim the top, drizzle with olive-oil, wrap in foil, and roast at 400°F (205°C) ~40 minutes; squeeze out sweet, spreadable cloves.

GARLIC BUTTER

Mix minced garlic with softened Butter, herbs, and salt; melt over steak, seafood, or Kale.

CONFIT

Slow-cook whole cloves in olive-oil at ~250°F (120°C) until soft and mild; store chilled, submerged in oil, and use within 1–2 weeks.

GARLIC OIL

Gently infuse olive-oil with sliced garlic; strain and refrigerate; use within a few days to minimize botulism risk.

GARLIC POWDER

Convenient pantry staple—about 1/8 tsp ≈ one clove with a similar carb impact.
