Roasted garlic is easy to make and has many uses - as a spread, appetizer, addition to roasts, savory base of salad dressings, and garnish for soups. This recipe is for one head Roasted Garlic, but is easily doubled, tripled, quadrupled - however much your oven can hold!
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 30 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1 head (bulb) garlic
- Olive oil
- Salt
- Pepper (optional)
Preparation:
- Preheat oven to 350. Peel off excess papery skin from garlic head, leaving enough behind to cover the cloves and hold the head together.
- For easy removal of garlic later, you can cut off the tip of each clove, but this step is purely optional.
- Put garlic in a small baking dish or other oven-proof container. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Sprinkle with pepper too, if you like. Cover loosely with aluminum foil.
- Bake garlic until very tender and evenly browned, about 30 minutes. Serve hot, warm, or at room temperature.
