Equipment
- Pot, Oven-Safe Dish, or Instant Pot
Ingredients
- 30-40 Garlic cloves peeled
- 2 cups Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Instructions
- Peel about 30-40 cloves of garlic, making sure to keep the cloves whole as much as possible.
- Measure 1 ¼ - 2 cups extra virgin olive oil.
Instant Pot Method
- Add all of the garlic cloves and olive oil to the Instant Pot.
- Set the Pot to the 'slow cook' function on the lowest setting.
- Cover with a regular lid, not the Instant Pot lid.
- Slow cook for about 1 hour and 30-40 minutes, or until garlic is soft and can be easily pierced with a fork.
Stovetop Method
- To a small or medium sized pot, add all of the garlic cloves and the olive oil.
- Next, turn the stove on to low heat.
- Cook on low for about 1 hour, or until garlic is soft and can be easily pierced with a fork.
Oven Method
- Add all of the garlic cloves and olive oil to a small casserole dish or other oven-safe vessel.
- Heat the oven to 200ºF.
- Cook for about 2 hours, or until garlic is soft and can be easily pierced with a fork.
Remaining Instructions:
- Once the garlic is soft, remove it from its heat source.
- Either add the garlic and the oil to a glass jar and refrigerate or strain out the oil. If you strain the oil, I recommend keeping the oil in a glass container and using it as a cooking oil.
- I also recommend blending the cloves (without the oil) in the food processor and keeping the garlic paste so it is easier to use.
Notes
Recipe copyright Legally Healthy Blonde. For educational or personal use only.
- Be sure to use enough oil to cover the garlic cloves. If you use the recommended amount of oil and the cloves are still exposed, add more until they are submerged.
- With the leftover oil at the end, save it in a glass container and use it as a garlic-infused olive oil for cooking!
- Stir this into pastas, whisk into vinaigrettes, spread on toast, or use as a coating for skin on chicken or fish. You will not run out of ways to use this!
