How To Roast Garlic And Store In Olive Oil

Step 1

You are able to roast as many bulbs at once as you would like. One, three or an entire sheet pan of them!

Step 2

Start with a piece of aluminum foil.

Step 3

Place your garlic on the foil.

Step 4

Drizzle the garlic with a bit of olive oil and a sprinkle of salt. If you want to add pepper that is good as well!

Step 5

Close up the foil to form a packet. There is no need to compress the foil tightly around the garlic. In fact, leaving a bit of space for the air to circulate will help in the roasting process.

Step 6

Place in a 400 degree oven for 45 minutes. The natural sugars will become caramelized and sweet. You know the garlic is ready to come out of the oven when the cloves slide out of their skins when you press on them.

Step 7

If you like your garlic to have a touch more sweetness, allow it to roast for another 10-15 minutes. This is my idea of heaven on earth.

Step 8

The cloves will easily slip out of the skins with a gentle squeeze when they are roasted to perfection.
