burnt garlic
Blackened pungent seasoning
Burnt garlic is garlic that has been cooked past golden brown to dark brown or black, developing bitter, acrid flavors.
Because garlic burns quickly in hot oil, burnt garlic often happens by accident and can ruin a dish: I looked away for ten seconds and ended up with burnt garlic.
Some cuisines intentionally char garlic for its intense, smoky quality.
