Substitute fresh garlic instead of garlic powder?

Question

I have a recipe that calls for garlic powder, but I only have fresh garlic on hand.

What ratio should I use to substitute?

Asked by Matthew Scouten

Answer

I'd say about 1 clove for every half-teaspoon of garlic powder. There isn't going to be anything particularly scientific about this, since garlic cloves vary in size, strength and flavor but that will be in the ballpark.
