🧂 Ingredients

1 Peel the garlic.
2 Transfer garlic cloves to a food processor. Pulse until minced to your liking.
3 Method 1 — tablespoon: Transfer the minced garlic spread on a parchment lined
sheet pan. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze for 2-3 hours or until frozen. Cut
until approximately 1 inch by 1 inch squares. Transfer into an airtight
container or freezer bags and store in the freezer. Use from frozen.
4 Method 2 — in containers or bags: Transfer the minced garlic into small freezer
safe containers or small freezer bags. Make indents with a knife in the garlic
after packing them in the containers so it’s easier to scoop out as needed in
the freezer.
5 Method 3 — in ice cube trays: Transfer the minced garlic into ice cube trays and
freeze for 2-3 hours or until frozen. Transfer the frozen garlic into an
airtight container or freezer bag and use from frozen.
