Dear ChefSteps community: We have made the decision to remove the Easiest-Ever Roasted Garlic video from this site.At ChefSteps, our number one priority is to always provide you with the best techniques and recipes that will safely lead you to culinary success. While we did fully test it in our development kitchen, we now realize that this particular technique—confiting garlic in the microwave—is not always replicable at home.
 
As many of you know, microwaves are complicated contraptions. (In fact, we are currently working on new content to help demystify how they work; look for that in the next few months.) Because they can behave very differently from machine to machine, we can’t guarantee that you’ll be able to get great results following this method. So it seems best to take it down.
 
But listen, roasted garlic is a wonderful thing—especially mixed with some olive oil, parsley, and red pepper flakes and served, with ricotta cheese, over crusty crostini.
 
We encourage you to try this amazing snack using garlic roasted in an oven. And we’d like to offer a heartfelt apology to all of you who tried the technique without success.
