Introduction:
Burnt garlic might sound like a kitchen mishap, but when done purposefully and carefully, it transforms into a deeply aromatic, smoky flavor bomb. In just 15 minutes, garlic evolves from a pungent clove into a golden-brown, charred delight that enhances everything from noodles to soups and stir-fries. This guide walks you through how to safely and effectively “burn” garlic for flavor, not failure.
Ingredients:
10 garlic cloves, peeled and thinly sliced
3 tablespoons neutral oil (like canola or sunflower)
Optional: a pinch of salt or chili flakes for added flavor
Instructions:
Prep the Garlic: Thinly slice the garlic cloves for even cooking. Avoid mincing, as smaller pieces burn too quickly.
Heat the Oil: In a small skillet, heat the oil over medium-low heat.
Add Garlic: Once the oil shimmers, add the garlic slices evenly.
