Roasted Garlic can be used in so many different recipes the same way as you would use it raw. After it’s roasted, it has a different more sweeter taste to it. Once it is roasted you can eat it hot right out of the Roasted Garlic bulb, store it in the refrigerator for 2 weeks or even freeze small portions to use in the months to come with your recipes. Growing your own garlic is a lot of fun!

There are only two ingredients needed

to make Roasted Garlic….olive oil and

garlic bulbs. Start with what ever amount

of garlic bulbs you would like to roast.

Remove the white papery part leaving

the thicker skin and cloves intact. With a

very sharp thin knife, cut 1/4 “ to 1/2 “

off the top of the garlic bulb.

Place the bulbs in an oven safe dish

(a cupcake pan works good if you make a lot).

Drizzle with olive oil then using your

finger tips, rub the oil into the cloves.

Cover with foil. Bake in a preheated

400 degree oven until tender. Mine took

35 minutes but the size will influence the time.

Remove from the oven and uncover.

Let cool until you can handle

them without getting burnt.

 

 

Squeeze each clove into a bowl.

Using a fork, smash the cloves and

use however you would like.

These will keep in a sealed container

for about 2 weeks in the refrigerator or

you can freeze them for at least 6 months.

  2. We do lots of grillin’ & chillin’ and that often includes slow-cooking something on the falling fire, lid down, vents closed.

    Including roasting garlic. Nice barely smoky addition to the flavor.

  9. Garlic is not only my daily staple but if it wasn’t for the smelly bulb, the memories of my grandmother would never be the same. To me it’s a life saver and as many cringe on a sing of it, I love it raw on my avocado and mixed as a spread.
