Watch as garlic magically transforms into soft, spreadable cloves that are packed with flavor! There’s no need to turn on the oven— whole cloves of garlic are slow-cooked in olive oil to achieve sweet, tender roasted garlic to stir into soups, spread on toast, or blend into hummus.

All of Anyday’s recipes are tested (and retested!) in many different microwaves and home kitchens to make sure they work — and work well.

[[video-wattage]]

To find your microwave’s wattage, look at the front panel, the side of the door, in the back, in the user manual, or Google the model number. If both an input and output wattage are listed, use the output.

Wattage translates to how powerful the microwave is. The higher the wattage, the faster your food will cook. The lower the wattage, the longer the cook time.

When in doubt, start with less time — you can always add more.

Dish

The Medium Deep Dish

Ingredients

  • 6 oz (170g) whole peeled garlic cloves, about 1 ½ cups
  • 1 cup (250ml) olive oil
  • 1 sprig fresh thyme or rosemary, optional

Preparation

  1. Add garlic, olive oil, and herbs (if using) to an Anyday Deep dish.
  2. Cover with lid (knob lifted) and cook in the microwave at Power Level 6

    Certain foods cook best in the microwave at lower power levels. 

    [[video-power]]

    Different microwaves have different settings. See your microwave manual (or look it up online) to learn how to change your microwave’s power level.

    For many microwaves: enter the cook time, press the “Power” (or “Power Level”) button, and select a number between 1-10. Other microwaves may require selecting the Power Level first, and then entering the cook time.

    Microwaves list power levels in different ways. Here’s a guide to help you adjust:

    PL 10 = 100% = High (default)

    PL 9 = 90% = High

    PL 8 = 80% = Med-High

    PL 7 = 70% = Med-High

    PL 6 = 60% = Medium

    PL 5 = 50% = Medium

    PL 4 = 40% = Med-Low

    PL 3 = 30% = Med-Low

    PL 2 = 20% = Low

    PL 1 = 10% = Low

    You will know if the power level has been successfully changed if you hear periodic changes in the microwave’s tone after it begins cooking.

    for 12 minutes.
  3. or until the garlic is soft and mashable.
  4. Allow to cool completely. Store garlic confit in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.

Serving suggestions & tips

  • Spread on toast for bruschetta.
  • Stir into tomato sauce for extra flavor.
  • Blend into hummus, babaganoush, or aioli for a flavorful dipping sauce.
  • Blend into water or stock to cook rice, pasta, or vegetables.

Recipe notes

  • You can use any oil you have available, regular veggie or olive oil.
  • If using pure olive oil, you can freeze the oil and garlic in the 2 Tablespoons Anytime Freezer Trays, and save until needed for up to 6 months.
  • Microwave ovens vary, even with the same wattages. Adjust cooking times as needed.
