Add roasted garlic and olive oil to infuse the whole bun with flavor.
Alto recommended roasting garlic with olive oil by wrapping the cloves in foil and placing them in the oven for an hour on low heat.
"After they've been roasted, I spread the garlic on the toasted bun along with some of the garlic oil. This adds a subtle, sweet garlic flavor to the bun and throughout the whole burger," Alto said.
If you have enough garlic-infused oil left after treating your buns, drizzle some onto the burger patty for added moisture and flavor.
