Roasting garlic takes away the sharp bite, leaving a more mellow flavor behind.
It’s simple to do in a terracotta garlic roaster. If you don’t have one, you can use tin foil over a ramekin or baking dish instead.
| Ingredients (per head of garlic to be roasted) |
- 1 head of garlic
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
|
| Instructions |
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Slice a bit off the top of the head of garlic to expose the cloves.
- Let the garlic sit for 10-15 minutes [why is important?]
- Put the garlic cut side up in the terracotta roaster or ramekin.
- Drizzle the tops of the heads with olive oil.
- Put the top on the roaster, or cover the ramekin tightly with foil.
- Bake for 55 minutes, until cloves are tender.
- Allow the heads to cool, then squeeze out the cloves.
