This glossy glaze starts with garlic gently softened in olive oil, then simmered with pure maple syrup until it thickens and clings to the back of a spoon. Fresh mint gets steeped right into the hot syrup for a few minutes, infusing the whole batch with a cool, herbal lift before it's strained silky-smooth. A splash of apple cider vinegar and a pinch of sea salt at the end sharpen the sweetness and balance out the garlic's punch. It's the kind of small-batch sauce you'll want to brush over roasted vegetables, grilled meats, or salmon straight off the grill. Since the ingredient list is built entirely from pantry staples like maple syrup, garlic, mint, and olive oil, it's a simple, easy option to keep on hand for a peanut free 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.
