How to Make Roasted Garlic
Report
Roasted garlic softens as it bakes to create a mellow, jammy bite that becomes creamy and tender for spreading on bread or adding to mashed potatoes, soups, sauces, and more.

Ingredients
- 1 head of garlic
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- kosher salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Use a sharp chef's knife to cut off the top third of the head of garlic. Peel away and discard any extra loose pieces of the papery garlic skin.
- If roasting a single garlic bulb, place it on a sheet of foil and drizzle the cut side with olive oil. Sprinkle with kosher salt if you'd like, but salt isn't essential. Wrap the foil tightly around the garlic bulb.
- If roasting more than one head of garlic, place the bulbs cut side up in a baking dish so the bulbs fit tightly, then drizzle with olive oil. Seal the top of the baking dish with foil.
- Roast the garlic until golden and soft, about 50-60 minutes. Slide a cake tester or a skewer through the bottom of the bulb to test for doneness.
- To use, peel the roasted cloves away from the base of the head and squeeze the softened clove from the cut side of the papery skin.
Notes
- Roasted garlic will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 1 week.
- Or, place the shelled, roasted garlic cloves in a glass jar with a fitted lid and cover with olive oil. Refrigerate for 3-4 weeks.
