Garlic is a key ingredient in so many cuisines, from classic Italian to southeast Asian and beyond. This bulb is very accessible, but cooking with it can still be a daunting or even tedious chore for some. Here are some easy ways to incorporate more garlic into your life without the hassle.

Peel It

The fastest and easiest way to peel garlic is simple and you only need a mason jar! Simply put a head of garlic in the jar with the lid on, shake vigorously, and all the skins will fall off!

Freeze It

One of the biggest problems people have with garlic is all the peeling and chopping involved. But, you can have garlic whenever you want without having to pull out your cutting board every time. Simply peel a head of garlic, pop the cloves in a food processor with some olive oil, put in ice cube traces and you’re done! Seal in a plastic bag and use a cube of garlic whenever necessary.

Roast It

Roasted garlic is great to add to dips, or simply spread on bread. Cut off the top of a head of garlic, drizzle olive oil over it, stick it in the oven, and once it’s done, the cloves can be squeezed out of the head. No peeling or fuss!
