Roasted garlic adds a sweet, mellow flavor to soups, dips, and pasta sauce. It’s a delicious addition to your recipes, and it lasts for a week in the refrigerator.

I love to cook with garlic. From homemade pasta salad to rosemary roasted potatoes to garlic spaghetti, garlic makes an appearance in many of my recipes.

If you aren’t a fan of the strong taste of raw garlic, you may want to try roasting it. We like to roast garlic in the oven and then spread it on toast. We roast a few heads of garlic at a time, because once we start eating it, we can’t stop! It’s awesome on a grilled cheese sandwich or tossed into your pasta.

You might be surprised at how super simple it is to make this flavorful ingredient. Read my tutorial and make a batch of this today to add to your favorite soup, dip, or salad.

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Cut the tops of the heads of garlic, exposing the cloves.
  • Discard the tops. Place garlic heads on foil and drizzle generously with olive oil.
  • Close up the foil, making a little packet that keeps the garlic and oil sealed inside.
  • Place the foil packets directly on the oven rack. Roast at 375 degrees F for about 45-55 minutes until golden brown and very soft.
  • Once cool enough to handle, remove the garlic cloves. Spread on toast and enjoy!

Notes

You can store roasted garlic in the refrigerator for up to a week.
You can store the roasted garlic paste in the freezer – just freeze it in teaspoon or tablespoonful sized portions in a freezer bag or container. It should stay fresh in the freezer for up to 3 months.

    Cool! I actually do the opposite thing- I toast some french bread and then rub raw garlic over it. more potent, but yummy!

    My daughter likes to take the skins off of the garlic – she’s a great helper.
    My favorite non human kitchen helper would be the glass juicer from my Great Grandma.

    I am a garlic lover, both in food, and when I’m about to get sick – I just crush it and swallow it with water – nasty but effective!

    Oh my, that sounds delicious and I’ve never tried it. Favorite kitchen tool? I’d have to say my salad spinner – best money I’ve spent to date.

    I went to a naturopath a few years ago who recommended raw garlic everyday. I just couldn’t quite do it – but I love cooking with it and always increase the amount when I’m getting sick :)
