Traeger Smoked Garlic is super simple and it is one of those things you can toss on the Traeger whenever you fire it up and keep some in the fridge to use whenever the need strikes. The wood fire flavor of the pellet grill really shines when featured with roasted garlic.
Traeger Smoked Garlic
A whole clove of garlic is slow-roasted and smoked, then you easily spoon or squeeze out the result. It comes out like a delicious garlic paste which is super easy to spread over toasted slices of baguette or mix into whatever you like.

If you have never slow-roasted a whole garlic bunch before then you are in for a treat! Even better smoked on the Traeger, you can use this to spread on meats like pork or chicken or serve it as an appetizer.
Essentially, the garlic cooks in its own casing. You cut the top off so it is easy to push or squeeze out the garlic. All you need is a bit of olive oil to drizzle over, but also keep a bit of the olive oil aside to put the garlic into at the end. Whisk it together briefly with a fork and you end up with an amazing garlic and olive oil spread.

How to make Smoked Garlic
If you have roasted garlic before, then chances are you wrapped it in foil then set it in the oven. When doing it on the Traeger, be sure to leave the top of the foil open. That way you can make sure to get more smoke infused into the garlic.
Or just skip the foil, like we did.
If you don’t have a Traeger, you can use any pellet smoker. If you don’t have a pellet grill a regular grill works fine too. You just don’t want to set the garlic over direct heat or else it might burn, and there isn’t a lot that is worse than burnt garlic!
This is just the overview so you can see what you’re actually getting into here. When you are cooking, you’ll want to use the full recipe at the bottom of the page.

What’s the best type of garlic to use?
Pictured here in this post, you’ll mostly just see the run-of-the-mill garlic that you can find in any US grocery store. It is cheap, widely available, and what we use most of the time when we make smoked garlic.
However, if you can find elephant garlic, it is pretty incredible. Elephant garlic is actually closer to a leek than actual garlic, but as the name suggests, they are often used interchangeably.
Taken raw, elephant garlic does have a much milder flavor than typical garlic cloves. However, smoking and roasting it will concentrate the garlic flavor more too.
Can this be made in advance?
Yes! This can actually be made up and kept for up to a week, so feel free to whip up a batch next time you’ve got your smoker fired up.
What’s the best way to store smoke garlic?
The very best way to store this is whatever is most convenient for you. If you use a garlic roaster, store it in that in your fridge. If you use a foil boat, you can wrap it up in the foil. Have a freezer baggie hanging around? Toss it in there. Want to make a garlic paste? Squeeze out all the garlic from the bulb, mash it up, and store it in a little jar or container.

How can you use smoked garlic?
You can spread smoked garlic on just about everything. Heck, I would even consider using it as toothpaste if I didn’t have to worry about having garlic breath.
Add it to your Italian Bread with Cheese. Throw a few cloves into your next batch of Spaghetti and Meat Sauce or Clam Linguine. Use in our Roasted Garlic Cream Sauce too.
