How To Make Roasted Garlic - Recipe
Servings 4
Ingredients
- 6 heads of garlic
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 400 degrees.
- Slice the heads of the garlic off about ¼ inch from the top. Place them in a pot with a close fitting lid. Pour the olive oil over the garlic heads and cover with the lid.
- Cook in the oven for 40 minutes. You can tell they are done when the outsides of the garlic are golden brown but not burned.
- When they are done, carefully open the packets of foil and place the garlic heads on a cutting board or in a bowl. They will be extremely hot, so let them cool for 15 minutes or so.
- Once the garlic is cool, squeeze the garlic out the top into a bowl. Add a pinch of salt and stir it all together. You will have a thick paste of garlic when you’re done.
- To make garlic bread: Heat the oven to broil. Slice the French bread into 1 inch pieces, brush both sides with olive oil, and place in the oven. Watch this carefully, as it can burn quickly. (I’m notorious for burning things when broiling.) Turn over when the tops are slightly brown and toast the other side until golden.
- Lather the tops of the garlic bread with the roasted garlic, and serve.
Notes
Use an Air Fryer on 400 degrees for 30 minutes. Wrap each garlic head in aluminum foil first. I hate using the oven for something so small. It just seems like a waste of energy. Using the Air Fryer is my new favorite way to roast, toast, bake, and fry.
