Microwave Puffed Garlic

Directions

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!
