Ingredients
- Heads of garlic
- Olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- Cut off the tops of the garlic heads to expose the cloves. Set them on tinfoil in a pan, root-side down, and generously drizzle olive oil overtop (see notes). Crimp closed the tin foil to hold in the heat.
- Roast the garlic for 30-35 minutes, or until a fork easily pokes straight through the garlic heads.
- Allow the garlic to cool almost fully. Use your fingers to squeeze the roasted garlic out of its papery skin. Store in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer and add to recipes.
Notes
For roasting garlic, pick larger heads of garlic with flatter bottoms, if possible. You can wrap heads of garlic individually in tinfoil or wrap 3-5 in the same piece of tinfoil, ensuring that it is crimped up tight to avoid steam escaping.
