Note

Storage: Store cooled garlic and oil in an airtight jar in the refrigerator for up to one week. For longer storage, freeze the garlic cloves in the oil.

Safety: Always refrigerate garlic-infused oil to prevent the risk of botulism. Do not leave at room temperature for more than 2 hours.

Variations: Add fresh herbs like parsley or thyme to the oil before baking for extra flavor.

Tip: Keep an eye on the garlic near the end of cooking to prevent burning, which can make it bitter.
