Roasted garlic is so delicious that I could squeeze the cloves out and eat them plain.
The best part about roasted garlic? It's so easy to make and very hard to mess up. Mine came out perfect and golden brown even as a first timer.
Ingredients:
- 2 heads of fresh garlic
- 4 teaspoons of extra virgin olive oil
- Salt and pepper (I used some white truffle salt)
Recipe:
*Thanks for the pictures Angela (my pics didn't come out as great)
**Preheat the oven to 400F.
Peel off the loose skin.
Cut the head so every clove is exposed.
Drizzle 1.5 to 2 teaspoons of olive oil on each head of garlic.
Wrap each head of garlic in tin foil and roast in the oven at 400F for about 45 minutes until the cloves are golden brown.
The roasted cloves should look like this!
And they pop out very easily.
Now comes the fun part...what should we do with our perfectly roasted garlic? Here are some ideas that I have tried (and loved!):
1. Spread on toasted and oiled baguette slices.
2. Mix in with some roasted vegetables.
3. Sprinkle on top of a homemade pizza.
4. Mash up in some hummus or baba ghanoush (P.S. my dad's famous baba ghanoush recipe is soon to be revealed).
