Ingredients
- 10 heads garlic
- 10 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Remove the papery loose skin of the garlic heads. Make sure the cloves are staying intact.
- Cut 1/4 to 1/2 inch of the top of the garlic heads and place each of them on a piece of aluminum foil.
- Drizzle one tablespoon olive oil on each garlic head and wrap with the aluminum foil. Place all the wrapped garlic heads on a baking sheet and roast for 40 to 45 minutes until they are fully roasted, soft and squeezable.
- Let the roasted garlic cool and then remove them from the skin by simply squeezing them out or taking them out of the skin using your fingers or a small knife or fork.

Notes
- Store the roasted garlic (once removed from the skin) in a small airtight container and refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
- To freeze, transfer the roasted garlic removed from the skin to a freezer-safe bag and freeze for up to 3 months. Use from frozen in cooking recipes or thawed in no-cook recipes.
- You can use roasted garlic in a number of different recipes. Spread them on a piece of toast for a quick appetizer or snack. Mix with yogurt or sour cream to make roasted garlic dip or stir into mashed potatoes. It also adds a lot of flavor to spinach pesto pasta or red lentil soup.
