Ingredients
- 6 bulbs garlic
- 5 sprigs fresh thyme
- 1 Teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 Teaspoon black peppercorns
- 2 Cups olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350℉, set an oven rack in the center of the oven.
- Cut about ½ inch of the tops off the heads of garlic, and place them cut side up into a 10” cast iron skillet.
- Add the fresh thyme, pepper flakes, and peppercorns. Pour over the olive oil and cover the skillet tightly with foil.
- Roast for 45-50 minutes or until the garlic is soft. Remove the foil, and set your oven to high broil. Broil the garlic for 3-4 minutes or until the tops are lightly browned.
- Remove the skillet from the oven and let the garlic cool until you are able to handle them.
- Lightly peel the garlic bulb and squeeze the garlic into a glass storage container, such as a mason jar. Strain the oil to remove any leftover peels and the aromatics. Pour oil in with the garlic. If you have leftover oil, store in a separate container and use for cooking.
- The garlic confit can be used immediately or it can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks in a mason jar with its oil.
