Ingredients
- 6 Bulbs Garlic
- 6 tsp Olive Oil
- Salt and Pepper , to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
- Cut the tops from the garlic bulbs to expose the cloves.
- Remove any loose or flaky outer skin from the bulbs.
- Place each garlic bulb on an individual sheet of parchment paper and then onto a piece of foil that is large enough to wrap it completely.
- Drizzle one teaspoon of olive oil over each garlic bulb and sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Wrap each garlic bulb tightly in the foil creating a sealed parcel.
- Put the garlic parcels in the preheated oven and roast for about 45 minutes until golden brown and soft.
- Remove the garlic parcels from the oven and allow them to cool slightly.
- Open the parcels carefully and allow them to cool on a wire rack. You can use them straight away as an ingredient or allow them to cool completely before storing.
Recipe Notes
- Cocktail Stick Trick: Use a cocktail stick to easily remove garlic cloves from their skin.
- Trim Evenly: Trim garlic bulb tops evenly for even cooking.
- Avoid Overcooking: Remove garlic from the oven when it reaches the desired caramelisation to prevent bitterness.
- Save Garlic Oil: Keep the flavourful roasted garlic oil for salad dressings, dips, or sautéing veggies.
