Report
Learn how to roast garlic in the oven two different ways, both incredibly easy and versatile!
Share:
Ingredients
- 1 head garlic
- drizzle olive oil
- sprinkle kosher salt
- sprinkle black pepper
Instructions
Prepare
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and place the oven rack in the middle position.
- Peel the loose paper off the garlic, leaving the tight paper skins intact. Keep the whole head together, don't separate any of the cloves.
- Using a sharp knife, slice off the top 1/2" of the whole head of garlic, or enough to expose the tops of the cloves.
- Place garlic on a sheet of foil and drizzle the exposed cloves liberally with olive oil. Season with a sprinkle of salt, pepper.
Roast
- Wrap the foil up around the garlic loosely, then place the garlic in a baking dish and roast in the oven for 35 - 50minutes.
Remove the cloves
- To remove garlic from the paper cloves, just squeeze at the root end of the head, and the soft garlic should slide right out.
Serve or store
- Serve warm, or let cool and add to an airtight container. Cover with some olive oil if desired.
Notes
- Roasting Cloves of Garlic
- The baking time is a range since all heads of garlic are different in size, and you may want your garlic to be more or less caramelized.
- I recommend checking the garlic around 35-40 minutes, then adding more time if needed.
- Instead of heads of garlic, pick up a bag of peeled garlic cloves (Costco has great organic ones), or peel multiple heads of garlic.
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Add at least 2 cups of peeled garlic cloves to a parchment paper lined 8x8 baking dish.
- Drizzle with olive oil (about 1/2 - 1 Tbsp per cup of garlic), and stir.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, stir, then reduce oven temperature to 350°F and continue to roast another 20 minutes or so.
- The last 20 minutes of roasting, stir the garlic every 5 minutes to make sure it doesn't brown too much, and to check that it's as caramelized as you want it.
