Instructions
Peel the garlic cloves: First, take a garlic clove and use the flat side of a knife to lightly press down on it to loosen the skin. Then, remove the skin and discard it.
Cut off the root end: Place the garlic clove on a cutting board and cut off the root end with a sharp knife. This will make it easier to chop the garlic.
Slice the garlic: Hold the garlic clove with your non-dominant hand and use a sharp knife to make thin, lengthwise slices. Be careful not to cut all the way through the garlic. Repeat this process with the remaining garlic cloves.
Chop the garlic: Now, hold the sliced garlic with your non-dominant hand and use the knife to chop it into small pieces. Use a rocking motion to chop the garlic, starting at the tip of the knife and working your way back towards the handle.
Notes

This will help prevent the garlic from sticking to the knife or cutting board.
