Caramelized Garlic: The Sweetest Upgrade for Any Dish

If you’re obsessed with garlic, you have to try caramelizing it. Here’s how I do it: Smash and peel 5-6 big garlic cloves. Bigger cloves are easier to work with and give you more of that sweet, mellow flavor. Heat about 1/4 inch of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat for a few minutes. Drop the garlic in, then lower the heat to medium-low. Let the garlic cook until the edges turn golden—usually 2-6 minutes. If it starts browning too fast, turn the heat down. Scoop the garlic out with a slotted spoon. Use it right away or store it in the oil in your fridge for up to two weeks. The oil gets infused too, which is awesome for pasta or salad dressings. This stuff is next-level in sauces, soups, or just spread on crackers. #garliclover #kitchenhacks #caramelizedgarlic #Food #Cooking
