Instructions
Preparation Steps
Preheat oven to 250°F (120°C).
Place peeled garlic cloves in an oven-safe dish, ensuring they are spread evenly across the bottom.
Pour olive oil over the garlic cloves until fully submerged.
If using, add fresh thyme sprigs and salt to the mixture.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until the garlic cloves are tender and lightly golden.
Remove from oven and let cool. Transfer garlic and oil to a clean jar and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Notes
The garlic confit can also be frozen for longer storage. Use a clean spoon each time to extend shelf life and avoid contamination.
