Notes
How To Make Roasted Garlic
Roasted garlic has a sweet, mellow flavor that makes it a great ingredient to include in all sorts of recipes. Here's how you make it:- Preheat the oven to 375°F. With a sharp knife, trim about 1/4-inch off the top of a head of garlic (just enough to expose the interior of each clove).
- Drizzle with the olive oil and wrap loosely in aluminum foil.
- Roast for 45 to 50 minutes, until the garlic is soft and sweet and set aside until cool enough to handle.
- Separate the cloves of garlic and gently squeeze the bottoms until the cloves pop out of the open ends.
