Ingredients
- 2 heads of garlic
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- kosher salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 F degrees.
- Remove any loose outer skins from garlic heads. Slice ¼ to ⅓ inch off the top of the garlic head to expose the cloves inside.
- Drizzle the tops of the bulbs with olive oil and sprinkle with kosher salt. Wrap in the foil or parchment paper secured with kitchen twine. You can also use a garlic roaster.
- Roast until the garlic cloves are lightly browned and tender, about 40 minutes. Begin checking the garlic at 30 minutes, the time to finish varies based on the size, age and variety of garlic used.
- Let the garlic cool slightly, and then serve. Press on the bottom of a clove to push it out of its paper. Roasted garlic can also be refrigerated for up to 2 weeks or frozen for up to 3 months.
Notes
- Garlic can be roasted without foil or parchment in a clay garlic roaster or by using a small ovenproof saucepan and lid.
Storage Instructions
Fridge: Store wholegarlic in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. For longer storage, remove the cloves, place them in a glass container, and cover with olive oil. Freezer: Freeze individual cloves on a sheet pan before storing them in an airtight container. Or, puree the cloves and freeze in an ice cube tray—my favorite method!Leave a review or get more information on the recipe!
