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

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.
