Step 1

Preheat your oven to 275 degrees Fahrenheit. Cut and remove the top third of the garlic bulbs.

Step 2

Place the garlic in a casserole pan or glass ovenproof dish and add the olive oil to it. Pour enough olive oil on top of the garlic so that all the bulbs are covered. Add the sprigs of thyme between the garlic bulbs.

Step 3

Bake in the oven for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Let cool for 15 minutes.

Step 4

Squeeze out the garlic from the cloves into a small bowl. Store both the oil and the garlic in an airtight container in refrigerator for up to two weeks.
