Here’s how I do it !
What you see here is about 5 lbs of smoked garlic. I do it in these batches every so often and freeze it then take it out as needed and either let thaw or microwave for 15-30 seconds.
Carefully slice off the first 1/4 inches of the top of each head. You can also keep these pieces for stocks and sauces.
Lather them in olive oil and season with your favourite rub, or S&P, have fun with it.
Smoke on a baking sheet at 250 for about 2.5 hours. I don’t like to cover them because it makes them very soft, but you can play around with it and see what you like.
Let them cool and place in a freezer safe bag until you need them again! Use these in place of any recipe that calls for fresh garlic, I usually x2 the amount of cloves because of the lessened potency of cooked garlic.
If you do it differently let me know! I’m curious how other folks stockpile their smoked garlic!

I get a disposable pan. The big bag of garlic from Costco. I strip out every piece of garlic and put it in the pan. I then cover with quality olive oil. I smoke it until it spreads like butter. I can it. I then have melting garlic and when that’s done I have smoked garlic infused olive oil
Dang I wish I had thought of this
Saving this, thanks!
