Roasted Whole Garlic

Roasting garlic develops a sweeter, more flavorful taste, without the pungency of raw garlic. This is a great ingredient to have on hand, so you may want to make a double or triple batch and keep it in the refrigerator.

Courses: Sauces

Recipe Ingredients

4   Garlic heads
1/3 cup 78mlExtra-virgin olive oil - more or less

Recipe Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.

Arrange the garlic heads in a small roasting pan and toss with the olive oil, coating them well.

Roast garlic until very tender, 50 to 60 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool. When cool, cut the heads in half, crosswise, with a serrated knife and remove the softened garlic pulp. This can be done by squeezing each half or by scooping the garlic out with a tiny teaspoon or small knife.

Transfer to a container, cover, and refrigerate. Use as needed.

This recipe yields about 1/2 cup.
