Herby Garlic Confit

Ingredients

• 4 heads of garlic, cloves separated, unpeeled
• A small handful of thyme sprigs, rosemary sprigs, and/or bay leaves
• 1½ cups extra-virgin olive oil

Steps

1. Preheat oven to 250°. Place garlic, herbs, and oil in an 8×8" baking dish or a small saucepan. Cover with foil and bake until garlic is tender, 60–75 minutes. (You’ll have to pop one out of its skin to test it; it should be soft and jammy.) Let cool.
2. Do Ahead: Garlic confit can be made 2 weeks ahead. Transfer to an airtight container and chill. Reheat over low heat before using.
