Learn how to roast garlic – just 3 simple ingredients, besides the garlic, of course!
One of my favorite savory flavors is roasted garlic. I love it in pasta and on pizza & bruschetta. Oh, and spread on a toasted Asiago bagel! OK, now my mouth is watering.
The first thing you want to do is to cut off the tops of your garlic bulbs. Cut just enough so that all of the cloves are showing. You’ll also want to slightly trim the bottoms so that they sit flat.
So that your garlic doesn’t stick, drizzle olive oil on your pan and then swirl it around so that it evenly covers the bottom of the pan. Put your garlic bulbs on the pan and drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Cover with foil and bake. By the time they’re ready, your house is going to smell pretty amazing.
The cloves get super soft and mushy, in fact, one even came out when I pulled the foil off. You can remove the cloves one of two ways. You can either squeeze it out by smashing the bottom of the bulb {left side of photo}, or you can peel away the skin and remove each clove carefully {right side of photo}. Either way, it’s going to taste amazing.
