Roasted Garlic Ingredients

2 basic ingredients is all you need to make a jar full of roasted garlic.

👇See the step by step directions below!

How to roast garlic directions

• Step 1: Preheat the oven to 375 F. degrees. Prepare the garlic bulbs by cutting the tops off of each garlic bulb. Be sure to cut the pointy top off not the bottom of the bulb where the roots were.

📌Pro Cooking Tip

📌If you cut the bottom off the garlic head the oil will leak out as it roasts. By cutting the top off the oil will be trapped and will envelope each individual garlic clove.

• Step 2: Place a double layered square of aluminum foil that is about twice the width of the head of garlic down into a shallow pan. I like to use a metal pie plate but any shallow pan will work.

• Step 3: Drizzle about a tablespoon of a good quality extra virgin olive oil over the top of the garlic cloves. Let the olive oil seep down in between each garlic cloves.

• Step 4: Bring the sides of the aluminum foil up and around the oil drenched garlic. Wrap the garlic tightly but leave a slight opening at the top so you can easily unwrap it after it has been roasted.

Repeat with each head of garlic you plan on roasting.

• Step 5: Place the wrapped garlic in a shallow baking pan and roast in the preheated oven for 20 to 30 minutes or until the garlic cloves are a deep rich golden color.

The house will smell wonderful. Your mouth will water in anticipation.

Let the garlic cool slightly and pluck one of those golden roasted garlic cloves out and let it melt on your tongue. You can thank me later!

Step 6: Squeeze or use a fork to pull each roasted garlic clove from the papery garlic skins. Store the roasted garlic in a jar or container with a tight fitting lid. You can drizzle a little olive oil over the garlic to keep it from drying out if you won't be using the roasted garlic right away.

It is delicious in my Roasted Garlic alfredo Sauce recipe.
