Experience the rich, nutty, and buttery flavor of perfectly roasted garlic, a versatile and aromatic addition to countless dishes.
Roasting garlic has been a culinary practice for centuries, enhancing dishes with its sweet, mellow flavor. This preparation method is cherished across many cuisines for its simplicity and depth of flavor.
1 large head of garlic
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Peel away the outer layers of the garlic bulb, leaving the skins of the individual cloves intact.
3. Use a sharp knife to cut 1/4 inch from the top of the cloves, exposing the individual garlic cloves.
4. Place the garlic head in a baking dish, cut side up.
5. Drizzle the olive oil over the exposed garlic cloves, ensuring they are well coated.
6. Sprinkle the salt and pepper over the garlic.
7. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the cloves feel soft when pressed.
8. Allow the garlic to cool slightly before squeezing the roasted garlic out of each clove.
Store roasted garlic in an airtight container or wrapped tightly in plastic wrap in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
To reheat, place the roasted garlic in a small oven-safe dish and warm in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes or until warmed through.
