How to Roast Garlic
Roasted garlic is so easy to do and produces delicious results! Set aside half an hour or so and know that you can roast garlic ahead of time, then cool it, bag it, and store it in the frig for 2-3 weeks.
Preheat the oven to 375 and cut enough off the tips of the bulbs to expose most of the heads. Find a baking dish just large enough to fit all the heads you want to bake. Rub a bit of olive oil along the bottom of the dish and place the heads cut side up in there. Pour just a bit more olive oil across the top of each head. Bake 20-30 minutes, testing that the cloves are done by poking a toothpick into the exposed side. They should be soft.
Use in dishes like Potato Soup with Roast Garlic, use for a softer garlic bread, make a fantastic baked Brie appetizer by spreading some roast garlic, olive oil and pine nuts across the Brie, barbecue some fish with roast garlic and butter and lemon juice in a foil pan, or mix in with some mashed potatoes.
