Roasted Garlic
Roasted garlic transforms the sharp flavor of raw garlic into a soft, sweet, and savory treat. It's incredibly EASY to make, you can spread it on toasted bread, or incorporate it into sauces, dressings, or even mashed potatoes!
Ingredients
- 2 bulbs garlic large
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Take each garlic bulb and remove any loose outer layers of skin, keeping the bulb intact. Using a sharp knife, slice off the top portion of each garlic bulb, exposing the cloves.
- Place the garlic bulbs in a baking dish or on a sheet of aluminum foil. Drizzle olive oil generously over each bulb, making sure the cloves are well coated. Sprinkle a pinch of salt over each bulb to season them. Cover the dish with aluminum foil or a lid. Roast the garlic for about 40-45 minutes, or until the cloves are soft and golden brown. The exact cooking time may vary depending on the size of the bulbs.
- Once roasted, remove the garlic from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes until it's safe to handle. To extract the roasted garlic cloves, gently squeeze the bottom of each bulb or use a small knife to loosen the cloves and remove them from their papery skin.
- The roasted garlic cloves are now ready to be used in various recipes, such as spreads, sauces, mashed potatoes, or as a flavorful addition to your favorite dishes!
Notes
TO STORE: Allow the roasted garlic to cool completely at room temperature. Separate the individual cloves from the bulb, if desired. Place the roasted garlic cloves in an airtight container or wrap them tightly in plastic wrap. Store in the refrigerator for up to one week.
