If you’ve never roasted garlic before.. prepare to have the most amazing smell in your house/apartment! I love making a bunch of roasted garlic heads and then freezing the cloves after for use in future meals!
If you’re not familiar with how to use roasted garlic, it basically has a more subtle/more mellow flavor than raw garlic. Here are a few of my own recipes that use it:
Other simple ways to use roasted garlic:
- On top of pizza or mixed in with pasta
- In mashed potatoes
- Roasted garlic hummus
- Mixed with mayo to make a roasted garlic aioli
Ingredients
- 1 head of garlic or more!
- extra virgin olive oil
- kosher salt
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
-
Cut the top of the garlic head(s) off, exposing the tops of the cloves (making your cut at least a quarter of the way from the top). Place onto a sheet of aluminum foil and drizzle the exposed cloves with olive oil and sprinkle with some salt.
-
Close the aluminum foil tightly so that there are no holes.
-
Place in the oven and roast for at least 45 minutes and up to an hour until the cloves begin to brown in color.
-
Remove, open the aluminum foil and let cool until you can handle it with your hands.
-
When cool, gently squeeze the bottom of the head to remove the individual cloves.
-
Use for up to 3 days in the fridge or freeze them for longer storage, preferably by using a vacuum sealer.
