Wondering if you can freeze whole garlic cloves? Here’s how I freeze garlic cloves.

  • garlic as much or as little as you'd like

Instructions

  1. Peel the garlic. Make sure to cut off the tough root end.
  2. Place the garlic in a single layer on a lined sheet pan. A little overlap is fine but avoid creating a pile on the sheet pan.
  3. Flash freeze the garlic cloves (covered or uncovered) for 2 to 3 hours, or until frozen. This depends on how cold you set your freezer.
  4. Transfer the frozen garlic cloves into a freezer-safe airtight container or bag. You can also vacuum seal them as well.
  5. Freeze for up to 6 months.
