Description
This roasted garlic recipe creates a sweet and creamy spread perfect for bread or as an ingredient in various dishes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 heads garlic
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- ¼ tbsp olive oil (for topping each bulb)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- With your hands, peel the paper off the garlic to expose the cloves. Take care to keep the bulbs together so they don’t break apart while you’re peeling.
- Take a sharp knife, cut the top of each garlic bulb straight off, about ½ inch from the top. This should cut into most of the cloves to expose the interior.
- Top each bulb with ¼ tbsp of olive oil and massage it into the cut side of each bulb.
- Wrap each bulb in aluminum foil and place it into the wells of a muffin tin, cut sides up.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until each clove is tender.
- To eat, pinch from the outside and the clove should come easily out of the skin.
Notes
- Roasted garlic can be used in pasta, mashed potatoes, or as a delicious spread on bread.
