Prepare a batch of golden, sweet, and versatile smoked garlic to keep stocked in your fridge and freezer. Perfect for charcuterie boards, adding to soups, stocks, or any dish that benefits from its smoky flavor.
Trim the tops of the garlic bulbs and arrange them on a cookie sheet. Drizzle olive oil, kosher salt, and pepper over all of the bulbs. Preheat your Traeger Grills to 275F, using a combination of oak and hickory wood. Smoke the garlic for 1-2 hours until it starts to take on a golden color. Cover the bulbs with foil and continue to grill until they are completely softened. Allow the smoked garlic to cool completely. Once cool, wrap each bulb individually with food-safe plastic wrap. Place the covered bulbs in a resealable plastic bag or container and freeze for later use.
