To make garlic confit, you will need whole garlic cloves, olive oil, and some herbs or spices, such as thyme, rosemary, or bay leaves. You can make this recipe two ways - in the oven, or on the stove.

Begin by peeling the garlic cloves and placing them in a small, oven-safe dish or a pan.

Cover the garlic with olive oil, making sure all the cloves are submerged. Add in your chosen herbs or spices.

To bake, cover the dish with foil and bake in a preheated oven at 325°F for around an hour, until the garlic is soft and golden.

To make on the stove, heat garlic just until oil begins to bubble, then reduce to medium-low and let garlic slowly soften for 1-1.5 hours, until golden and soft enough to be squished with light pressure from a fork.

Let cool and store in an airtight jar in the refrigerator for up to one week.
