This is a simple "how to" recipe for roasting garlic in the oven. Super easy and the flavor of roast garlic is so sweet and creamy. Our favorite way to serve it up is to dump the roasted garlic in some good olive oil seasoned with salt/pepper, and serve it atop french bread. Certainly you can use roast garlic in many different recipes!

SERVES 2 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 head garlic (elephant garlic has many cloves & works well)
2 tablespoons olive oil (or more)
salt and pepper

Directions

1
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
2
Slice off the very top of the garlic head. Place in a piece of foil and drizzle olive oil inside the head of garlic until it is completely filled and just starting to run down the side.
3
Wrap tightly with foil and place on a cookie sheet and bake until tender and fragrant, roughly 35 minutes.
4
Remove from the oven and let cool. Peel outside off of bulb of garlic, then gently squeeze each clove out.
5
Use in the recipe of your desire, or simply spread on bread for a wonderful addition to any meal.

My garlic came out perfectly!! I mashed the entire lot of garlic and added oil, red wine vinegar, rosemary, red pepper flakes, parsley, oregano, basil, salt and pepper to make a dipping sauce that is very similar to one at our favorite Italian restaurant. Thanks for posting!

Thank you for such a simple recipe. We enjoyed it very much, actually loved it. We added oil and salt. Then spread it on 'Savory Roasted Pepper Bread for the Bread Machine" #302209 by WiGal. Made for ZWT 4 for The Mamma Mias!
