How to Roast Garlic
Description
The method for roasting garlic involves preparing whole bulbs by removing excess papery skin and trimming the tops to reveal the cloves. The bulbs are drizzled generously with olive oil and securely wrapped in foil to retain moisture during baking at 425°F. After 25 to 35 minutes, the garlic cloves become soft, golden, and suitable for squeezing out of their skins.
Roasted garlic transforms the pungent raw flavor into a milder, caramelized profile that works well as a spread or an ingredient in sauces, dressings, and cooked dishes. Its creamy texture and rich aroma add depth without overwhelming other flavors.
Ingredients
- 2 bulbs garlic
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- Rub the bulb of garlic to remove all of the loose papery skin.
- Cut off the top of the garlic so you can see the insides of each clove.
- Place garlic on a square of foil and drizzle generously with olive oil. Seal the foil well.
- Bake for 25-35 minutes or until cloves are very soft and golden brown.
- Cool and squeeze the cloves out. Use in recipes or spread on bread.
