Avocado oil has a high smoke point and is healthier, while canola oil is more budget-friendly.

Pull the heads of garlic apart.

Place the garlic cloves into a sealable container and shake to peel them quickly.

Remove the peeled garlic cloves into a separate dish, ensuring all skins are removed.

Preheat the oven to 100 degrees Celsius (200 degrees Fahrenheit).

Place the peeled garlic cloves into a heavy-bottom pot and cover with 500 milliliters of extra virgin olive oil.

Place the covered pot into the oven and cook for about two hours until the garlic is golden.

For the stovetop method, pour the three heads of peeled garlic cloves into a small saucepan and cover with 500 milliliters of extra virgin olive oil.

Turn the heat to medium-low and let the garlic cook slowly in the oil for about an hour until golden.

To store, pack the garlic cloves individually in ice cube trays and pour the garlic oil over top, then freeze for three months.

Alternatively, place the garlic and oil in a jar and store in the fridge for one week.
