Buttery Garlic Confit
Add delicious garlic flavor to your favorite dishes by learning how to make garlic confit, which only requires two ingredients. It only requires 5 minutes of hands-on time and can be flavored with whatever herbs you love!
Servings: 16 servings
Ingredients
- 3 heads garlic
- 1 ½ cups olive oil 354 mL
- Optional Herbs: 6 sprigs thyme, 3 sprigs rosemary, and/or 3 bay leaves
Instructions
- Prep: Preheat oven to 250°F (121°C). Either peel the garlic cloves completely, or separate the cloves from the head, leaving the paper on.
- Assemble: Add garlic and oil to an oven-safe pan (like a cast iron or casserole dish). If garlic is not submerged completely, add a bit more oil. If desired, add a few hearty herbs to the pan.
- Cook: Cook for 2 hours or until garlic cloves are golden brown and soft. Remove from oven and let cool.
Notes
Store garlic confit in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks in an airtight container like a mason jar. I do not recommend storing it at room temperature because it does pose a food safety concern.
