How to Roast Garlic
Servings: 30 servings (3 bulbs total, 30 cloves)
Calories: 4cal
Equipment
Ingredients
- 3 bulbs fresh garlic
- olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 F.
- Remove the loose papery layer from the garlic bulbs. Leave some on for the roasting process.
- Lay bulbs sideways and slice off the tips of the garlic cloves (not at the root end).
- Place garlic cloves root side down onto a large piece of aluminum foil. Drizzle cut side of bulbs with olive oil.
- Close up aluminum foil around the garlic bulbs and place on a baking sheet. Bake in the oven for 45-60 minutes.
Notes
- We roasted our bulbs for 60 minutes to get a soft paste consistency. Depending on your desired consistency, you can roast the garlic for closer to 40-45 minutes as well. The bulbs are done roasting when they are golden on top and easily pierced with a fork or knife.
- The olive oil helps retain moisture so the bulbs don't end up dry or brittle. Simply drizzle it on top of the cut side of the bulbs before roasting.
