This glossy glaze comes together fast, built on pure maple syrup simmered with fresh garlic until it turns deep and slightly caramelized. A steep in fresh mint leaves adds a cool, herbal brightness, strained clean so the finished glaze pours silky and smooth off the back of a spoon. A splash of apple cider vinegar cuts through the sweetness with sharp, tangy contrast, while a touch of sea salt rounds out every note. It brushes on beautifully over roasted vegetables, grilled meats, or seared salmon, adding a punch of flavor without any heavy or processed ingredients. Simple, whole-food components and quick stovetop technique make this an easy one to keep on hand for a Paleo kitchen.

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.
