Ingredients
1headgarlicpeeled and diced
1/2cupvegetable oilmay sub coconut oil or canola oil
Instructions
Peel and dice and place in a medium microwave-safe bowl.
Add your choice cooking oil (we recommend vegetable, canola, or coconut) until garlic is fully submerged.
Microwave for 2-3 minutes (cooking times will vary depending on your microwave's power), checking every 30 seconds after the first minute.
Don't be alarmed if the oil starts to bubble — this is how the magic happens! The garlic is done cooking when it is a gorgeous shade of golden brown — it will look similar in color to roasted cashews.
Allow to rest until oil is no longer bubbling before removing carefully from microwave. (Always use caution, as both the oil and bowl will be hot).
You can now separate the fried garlic pieces from the oil. Allow to dry on a paper towel, to remove excess oil.
After removing garlic pieces, you may save this garlic-infused oil for other cooking projects. It's full of flavor!
