Roasted Garlic

If you're a garlic lover like me, then whole roasted garlic bulbs need to be a staple in your kitchen too! When you roast garlic they get soft, creamy, sweet & out of this world delicious!

And as a bonus; they couldn't be easier to make!

What You Will Need: Whole bulbs of garlic, olive oil & foil.

Preheat your oven to 400


Using a sharp knife, cut the top off of the bulbs.


Give a generous drizzle of olive oil.



Wrap tightly in the foil. If you like, double warp them to insure that you won't have an oil drip in your oven & smoke out your entire house....**im guilty of this one**.


Let them roast for 30 minutes, then shut off the oven and keep them in there for 10 more minutes.
Remove and unwrap. The whole bulb should be soft and you should be able to push the roasted cloves right out.


Using your knife, smash and scrap the garlic against your cutting board to create a paste.


Now the possibilities of this are endless! 

Mix with soften butter & smear over crusty pieces of bread.
Add to soups, pasta dishes or hardy casseroles like Shepherds Pie.
Combine with oil & your favorite vinegar for a roasted garlic vinaigrette.
Add into any vegetable side dish for an extra burst of flavor.


Enjoy & Always Cook with Love!
