Herby Garlic Confit

Herby Garlic Confit

This herby garlic confit recipe I found on bon appétit looked amazing and I couldn’t wait to make it. I slow-baked the separated cloves of garlic in an extra virgin olive oil with fresh thyme, oregano, and a bay leaf for 90 minutes and the result is roasted garlic cloves with the added benefit of a herb & garlic flavored olive oil to use however we want. I can’t wait to use the roasted garlic on toast, in mashed potatoes, added to pasta, with veggies, eggs, and soups – the possibilities are endless. The oil will be used for salad dressings or vinaigrettes, as well as a bread dipper, sautéing meats & veggies, and as a finisher for soups and pasta. The garlic turned out amazing and the olive oil is so flavorful. This recipe is a keeper!

  1. Great idea Pam. I rarely use roasted garlic in recipes as I don’t want to take the time to roast it but making a batch ahead of time and having it available will change that.
