Ingredients

  • 1 head of garlic or however many you'd like!
  • Drizzle of olive oil
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375-400°F.
    (Note: I usually roast garlic when I'm roasting something savory for a long time, like roast chicken, or pot roast. So, set the oven to whatever temperature is called for the main dish, but anywhere between 375-400°F is ideal!)
  • Cut a head of garlic in half and place it on a sheet of foil.
  • Drizzle some olive oil over the cut side and sprinkle some salt.
  • Replace the top of the garlic and wrap the foil.
  • Place in the oven and roast for about 45 minutes, or until the garlic cloves are soft and caramelized.
  • Cool the roasted garlic until safe to touch. Then squeeze out the softened garlic from the peel, mash it and serve!

Notes

HOW TO STORE: Refrigerate roasted garlic for up to 3 days. Or freeze for up to 3 months - this's my go-to method for storing roasted garlic. See my freezing instructions in the post above.
