Here’s one of my favorite little kitchen hacks that makes me feel both practical and slightly gourmet. Grab one of those giant bags of pre-peeled garlic. Is it the highest quality garlic in the world? Probably not. Is it affordable? Yes. Does it make cooking faster and easier? Also yes. Step 1: Roasted Garlic Gold Take half the bag, place it in a baking dish, cover completely with avocado oil or olive oil, cover the dish, and bake at 200° for about 2½ hours until soft and golden. Let it cool, then transfer the garlic and oil into ice cube trays and freeze. When you need roasted garlic? Just pop one out and defrost. Use it for: – Roasted garlic mayo – Melting over brie for a “wow” appetizer – Stirring into pasta – Spreading on pizza – Basically anything that deserves to taste expensive Step 2: Everyday Garlic Cubes The other half goes straight into the food processor. Blend to your preferred texture, spread it into a gallon zip-top bag, flatten it out, and press little square indents into it. Freeze. Now you can just snap off a garlic square whenever you’re cooking. And if a recipe calls for “two cloves of garlic”? Grow up. We don’t measure garlic anymore. Our hearts tell us how much to use. 🧄🤍 #KitchenHacks #garlicconfit #garlic #mealpreppingbaby - @thehotmess.homesteader
