Yes you can. Garlic is also a healthy food which has antioxidants that protect against chronic disease. The only food that is not recommended to be taken with these medications is alcohol. Other foods that may also interact with these medications are large doses of caffeine or grape juice.

Ezetimibe is a type of medicine used to treat high blood cholesterol, a fatty substance found in the blood. A study conducted in 2015 found that the combination of garlic and ezetimibe reduced total cholesterol by 27.4% and triglycerides by 15.6%.

There is no contraindication if this garlic consumption is within the daily recommendation of 8g/day (one large clove) distributed over meals in a day. What is not recommended is using garlic supplements without your doctor's knowledge.
