This herby garlic confit is a versatile addition to any kitchen, transforming pungent raw cloves into sweet, buttery morsels. By slowly poaching the garlic in high-quality extra-virgin olive oil with sprigs of fresh rosemary and thyme, the sharp flavours soften into something truly sophisticated. This heart-healthy recipe is an excellent way to incorporate the antioxidant properties of garlic and monounsaturated fats into your daily diet without the harshness of frying.
Enjoy these jammy cloves spread over crusty bread, mashed into seasonal vegetables, or whisked into a savoury vinaigrette for a depth of flavour that shop-bought alternatives simply cannot match. Because the infused oil carries the fragrant essence of the herbs, it also serves as a delicious base for sautéing greens or drizzling over roasted chicken. It is a simple, make-ahead condiment that elevates everyday home cooking.

Ingredients for Herby Garlic Confit
4 heads of garlic, cloves separated, unpeeled
A small handful of thyme sprigs, rosemary sprigs, and/or bay leaves
350ml extra-virgin olive oil
How to make Herby Garlic Confit
Preheat oven to 121°C. Place garlic, herbs, and oil in an 8x8" 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.
Garlic confit can be made 2 weeks ahead. Transfer to an airtight container and chill. Reheat over low heat before using.
