Checking the ingredient list here turns up nothing that conflicts with a dairy free kitchen — maple syrup, garlic, fresh mint, olive oil, vinegar, and sea salt are all naturally in the clear. That makes this glaze an easy, no-worry addition to your rotation. Sizzling minced garlic in olive oil builds a fragrant base, then a slow simmer with maple syrup pulls everything into a glossy, spoon-coating glaze. Steeping the mint right in the hot syrup before straining gives it a clean, herbal brightness without any leafy bits left behind, and a final splash of apple cider vinegar keeps the sweetness balanced rather than cloying. Brush it over roasted vegetables, grilled chicken, or salmon straight off the heat for a fast, glossy finish. It's a great one to keep on hand for a dairy free table.

Heat the olive oil in a small saucepan over medium-low heat until shimmering. Add the minced garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until softened and fragrant but not browned, about 1 minute. Watch closely — garlic can color quickly and will turn bitter.
Pour in the maple syrup and stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally, until the glaze thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon, about 5–6 minutes.
