Ingredients
  

  • 1 T olive oil
  • 4 cloves of garlic

Instructions
 

  • Peel your garlic (We are a fan of buying peeled garlic but we do it by hand plenty.)
  • Slice your garlic. (Slice it as thin as you can without hurting your fingers).
  • Add 1 T olive oil to your pan.
  • Warm the pan to medium heat until the oil is shimmering.
  • Add your garlic and spread it out in the pan.
  • Allow the garlic to cook for about 1 minute.
  • Stir the garlic for another minute or until the garlic is starting to turn golden.

Notes

Do not overcook your garlic when you are sauteing. This is easy to do but your garlic will come out crunchy instead of soft and meaty.
Note: I prefer that my garlic is a darker golden but that is against traditional saute methods. This is a perfect example of do as I say and not as I do.
