Microwave Puffed Garlic

1. 1

   First peel the garlic cloves. (I used 6 oz. pre-peeled bagged garlic. I came into a significant amount for free. Don't ask)

2. 2

   Cover the bottom of two glass or other microwave safe dishes with a layer of paper towels. (I used my pyrex pie pan and glass 5x8 square pan)

3. 3

   Place half the garlic in each dish. Make sure the cloves are spread out.

4. 4

   Cover garlic with a layer of paper towels.

5. 5

   Microwave the first dish for 4 minutes.

6. 6

   Remove the first dish from the microwave and put the second dish in for 4 minutes.

7. 7

   Microwave each tray for an additional 3-4 minutes. Make sure to alternate trays and mix the garlic after each heating session.

8. 8

   If the garlic is still soft, alternate the trays for up to a minute at a time until most of the cloves are firm. The garlic will burn easily, so watch it closely.

9. 9

   Let the garlic cool and enjoy!
