Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Peel the Garlic

    Remove the skins from the garlic cloves. You can do this by crushing them slightly with the side of a knife to loosen the skin.

  2. 2

    Slice the Garlic

    Slice the peeled garlic cloves thinly using a sharp knife. Aim for even thickness to ensure they cook uniformly.

Frying

  1. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a medium-sized skillet, pour in the vegetable oil and heat it over medium heat. Allow the oil to get hot but not smoking.

  2. 4

    Fry the Garlic

    Once the oil is hot, carefully add the sliced garlic to the skillet. Stir frequently to ensure the garlic cooks evenly and doesn’t burn.

  3. 5

    Monitor the Color

    Keep a close eye on the garlic as it fries. It should turn a light golden brown in about 2-4 minutes. Remove from heat as soon as it reaches the desired color.

  4. 6

    Drain and Season

    Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fried garlic to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. While still warm, sprinkle with salt to taste.
