I love garlic. I mean, I hate raw garlic but when it is cooked, it makes everything so yummy.

What I really, really love is the taste of roasted garlic. It is just so so good. I use them in pasta dishes, to make garlic bread, to infuse in olive oil to make garlic oil, to make Aioli…

And roasting garlic is really simply to do.

All you need to do is to cut off the top of the cloves to expose the individual cloves of garlic

Then place the garlic on a sheet of aluminum foil, and drizzle with olive oil. You must make sure that the garlic heads are well coated. 

Seal the foil.

Place the garlic on a baking tray and roast them at 200C for about 45 minutes to an hour.

Soon your house will start to smell like garlic bread.

Once the cloves feel soft when pressed, they are ready.

You can eat them, or store them in an air tight container in the fridge and to be used as and when needed.

YUMS 🙂
