Crispy Garlic

"Garlic just keeps on giving, doesn’t it? It seems no matter its state—raw and minced, roughly chopped and sautéed, or whole and slowly roasted into confit—it has something wonderful to offer one’s tastebuds. And as Trader Joe’s Crispy Garlic ably demonstrates, when sliced thin and fried to a glorious golden brown, garlic’s gifts easily extend into the textural realm, too. We tried plenty of options before finding this iteration of Crispy Garlic, which is brought to us by an expert supplier in Thailand. Only their Crispy Garlic was able to capture that flavorful-but-not-bitter, nicely-fried-but-not-tough, crunchy-but-still-melt-in-your-mouth quality that our tasting panel adored. We think you’ll adore it, too. Trader Joe’s Crispy Garlic is excellent as a topping on stir-fries, salads, and scrambled eggs; pizzas, pastas, and pad Thai; or even burgers, baked potatoes, and bánh mi. It can be mixed into homemade cheesy dips and casseroles, sprinkled over noodle dishes or roasted veggies, or even just enjoyed over a bowl of freshly made rice. Frankly, there’s not really a savory dish we wouldn’t add Crispy Garlic to, and once you get your hands on a pouch, we’re sure you’ll feel the same way. They’re available in our grocery aisle, every day."
