Preparation

  1. Prepare the dish

    2 min

    Place the peeled garlic cloves in an oven-safe dish.

    Spread them evenly for even cooking.

  2. Add the oil

    1 min

    Pour in enough olive oil to fully cover the garlic.

    Make sure all cloves are submerged.

  3. Season

    1 min

    Add a pinch of salt and fresh thyme, then mix gently.

    Do not overmix to keep cloves intact.

  4. Bake

    40 min

    Cover the dish and bake until the garlic is soft and lightly golden.

    Keep the temperature low to avoid burning.

  5. Cool

    10 min

    Let the garlic confit cool slightly before using.

    It will thicken slightly as it cools.

  6. Use

    1 min

    Spread on toast, mix into pasta, or use to flavor dishes.

    The oil is also packed with flavor—don’t waste it.
