Roasted Garlic Recipe

Roasted Garlic

What a delight

I could easily demolish a couple of heads of this roasted garlic in one sitting. It is not just the physical clove that gets soft during roasting, the flavor itself softens and becomes this whole different beast compared to raw garlic. Delicious spread on warm toast, but don’t think it stops there—roasted garlic adds a roundness of umami to almost any dish. Or be like me and just pop those gorgeous cloves straight into your mouth. Yum.

Instructions

Step One

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

Step Two

Cut the top of the garlic head off to expose the inner cloves.

Step Three

In a small baking dish arrange the garlic with the cut sides facing up. Season the garlic with salt and pepper and pour a small glug of olive oil over the top of each head. Cover the dish tightly with foil.

Step Four

Roasted in the oven for 40 minutes. Uncover the baking dish and roast for another 15 minutes, or until the garlic is beautifully browned and soft. Serve. Enjoy.
