How to Roast Garlic

Garlic, slowly roasted in the oven, loses its sharp bite and turns remarkably soft and mellow.

Roasted cloves are nutty, rich, slightly sweet and oh-so versatile.

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Cut about ½ inch off the top of the head of garlic. Peel off any loose, papery skin.

2. Place garlic in a small ovenproof baking dish, cut side up.

3. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil.

4. Cover dish with aluminum foil and bake in the oven until cut side is lightly browned and cloves are very soft, 45 minutes to 1 hour.

5. Remove, and allow garlic to cool slightly before squeezing the garlic paste from the cloves.

Try roasted garlic mashed into potatoes, blended into store-bought hummus, or in one of the recipes below. Roasted garlic is at its best, however, when treated simply--spread on crusty bread and drizzled with olive oil.

Oh Sure...they all say it's easy! I tried to follow the directions in the "Save This Article to Your Recipe Box" But I see no "My recipe box". Here's what I see...My Allrecipes or Recipe Box. I don't think you have all the right pieces here. Can you fix it?

OMG yum!!! I LOVE roasted garlic, but never quite knew how to make it myself. All I have to say now is my poor husband... I might never get kissed again. Lol.

This is a great and easy way to roast garlic. Many years ago we just took whole heads of garlic wrapped in foil with a splash of olive oil. It was ready when you meat was cooked. And to add this link to your "recipe box", is also easy with a few added steps. You will need to copy web-link url, than open your recipe box, next select the options drop down menu arrow. This is located right next to the words: My Recipe Box - My Recipe List Options. From the drop down menu select add a web link and paste the url here, follow the remaining prompt steps to add it to your recipe box. Hope this helps so who were having trouble. Cheers.
