Sweet Garlic Ingredients

Method

Sweet Garlic Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Garlic

    Peel and smash the garlic cloves gently with the side of a knife to release their flavor.

  2. 2

    Mix the Sauce

    In a mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar, honey, soy sauce, olive oil, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is well combined.

  3. 3

    Combine Garlic and Sauce

    Add the smashed garlic cloves to the sauce mixture and toss to coat evenly.

  4. 4

    Marinate

    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or overnight for more intense flavor.

  5. 5

    Cook the Garlic

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Spread the marinated garlic and sauce onto a baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the garlic is tender and caramelized.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. This sweet garlic can be used as a spread, a topping, or a flavorful addition to dishes.
