How to Make Roasted Garlic
If you’ve never made roasted garlic, you are seriously missing out. It is mild, nutty, and sweet - nothing like the sharp raw garlic you might expect!
Servings: 12 servings
Calories: 14kcal
Ingredients
- 4 heads garlic
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Using a very sharp knife, lop off the top ½” of each head of garlic—exposing most of the cloves.
- Place the head of garlic, root side down, in a shallow baking dish (a loaf pan usually does the trick). Season liberally with salt and pepper.
- Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil, and then bake in preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the garlic cloves are very soft and mushy.
- To remove the roasted garlic, wait until the heads are cool enough to handle, then squeeze the heads upside down over top of a bowl. The roasted garlic should easily squeeze out of the peel.
