Instructions

1. Prepare the garlic confit. Preheat oven to 250°F. Place garlic in a small ovenproof dish and cover with oil so cloves are submerged. Bake for 45 minutes or until cloves are golden and tender.

3. Transfer to a serving plate and top with paprika or parsley for garnish.

Tips

*Store the left over garlic confit oil in a sealed container and refrigerate. Use in salad dressings, sauces, or drizzle on top pasta or pizza.
