LOW N SLOW BASICS: Garlic Goals All Purpose Rub – 260g

The do-anything garlic shaker

Garlic Goals is Aaron Palmer's all-purpose seasoning built around big roasted garlic and a savoury hit of cheese. It is the shaker that lives next to the stove and makes the everyday taste sorted — chips, chook, spuds and veg all bow to it.

The flavour

Roasted garlic leads, backed by a savoury, cheesy, butter-rich middle and a lift of black and white pepper. Parmesan and celery notes round it out for a moreish, umami-packed finish. It is savoury comfort in a shaker, not a spicy rub.

How to cook with it

• Shower it over hot chips or wedges straight out of the fryer.
• Rub a whole chicken inside and out before roasting for garlicky, golden skin.
• Toss through roast potatoes or a tray of veg before they go in the oven.
• Dust popcorn, garlic bread or scrambled eggs for a savoury hit.
• Season steak or chicken breast when you want garlic-and-cheese over chilli.

In the shaker

A pale, savoury blend flecked with garlic, herb and cheese powder — it pours freely and clings to hot, oily chips and roast skin, melting into a garlicky, cheesy crust.

FAQ

How hot is Garlic Goals? There is no chilli heat — it is a mild, savoury garlic-and-cheese all-purpose seasoning. The gentle bite comes from black and white pepper, not spice.

Is it gluten free? There is no gluten ingredient listed, but it may contain traces of gluten (wheat). It does contain milk, so it is not dairy free. Always check the physical label.

What do I use it on? Just about everything — hot chips, roast chicken, potatoes, roast veg, popcorn and eggs. Over high heat, add it late so the cheese and garlic don't scorch.

Where is it made? Made in South Australia by Aaron Palmer's Low n Slow Basics.

The Rub Smuggler's Verdict

Every kitchen needs a do-anything shaker, and this garlicky, cheesy all-rounder is it. Dust it on chips, chook or roast veg — and over high heat, add it late so the cheese and garlic don't scorch. Build the plate with Boomas Boomtang BBQ Sauce and a spoon of Uncle Mungo's Crispy Chilli Oil for loaded fries worth hiding.
