Step 1

Remove the garlic cloves from the bulb, or head. (Tip: Place the bulb on a flat surface and apply pressure to the root end of the bulb with the palm of your hand to loosen up the cloves.)

Step 2

Cut the root end off of the clove. Peel and remove the papery skin.

Step 3

Place the whole cloves onto a large baking sheet in a single layer and freeze for 2-4 hours, or until almost completely frozen.

Step 4

Transfer the cloves to a large freezer-safe ziplock bag with the date on the front. Freeze for up to 6 months.

Step 5

Add the peeled garlic cloves to a large food processor along with the oil. Blend for 30-60 seconds, scraping down the sides every 10-15 seconds, or until a smooth paste forms.

Step 6

Fill an ice cube tray with 1 tablespoon of garlic paste in each cavity. Freeze for 2-4 hours, or until solid.

Step 7

Transfer the frozen garlic cubes to a freezer-safe ziplock bag with the date. Freeze for up to 6 months.
