How To Roast Garlic
Author:
Ingredients
  • 1 large head of garlic
  • Olive oil
  • Salt
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375°.
  2. Take a head of garlic and cut off the top quarter so that the garlic cloves are exposed.
  3. Place the head of garlic on a piece of tin foil, and lightly drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle a little salt on top and then seal up the garlic in the foil.
  4. Place the foil pack on a cookie sheet or in an oven-safe baking dish and roast for 20 to 30 minutes. Check at the 20 minute mark to make sure the garlic isn't burning.
  5. When the garlic head is nicely golden, remove from the oven and let the garlic cool before attempting to handle it.
  6. To remove the garlic cloves, squeeze the head of garlic from the bottom. The individual cloves should easily pop out. If not, use a fork to gently pry out the stubborn cloves.
  7. Notes:
  8. Unused garlic cloves can be kept for up to 10 days in a small, tightly sealed glass container in the refrigerator.
  9. You can use this same method to roast garlic using your gas grill outside. Just place the foil pack on a grill-safe pan or even directly on the grates. Caution: the garlic will roast very quickly with this method, so check the foil pack often.
