Garlic granules or granulated garlic are granules of dehydrated garlic cloves. The taste of granulated garlic is stronger than garlic powder but milder than raw dried cloves.
Garlic granules combine well with most spices and can enhance the taste of most recipes. Granulated garlic can be used where regular garlic would be used. It is good in sauces for pasta or for meat, especially tomato sauces. It goes great on roasted chicken and lamb and it adds a great taste to oven-baked potatoes. Garlic is essential for Greek ''tzatziki'' and ''skordalia''. Garlic combines best with onion and there are countless recipes that start with sautéed onion and garlic.
