Roasted Garlic
We have burned the tips of many fingers in our haste to squeeze out this heavenly ooze.
Ingredients
- 1 bulb garlic
- olive oil
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Slice off the top of the bulb to expose the cloves.
- Set the bulb on doubled layers of tin foil, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Wrap tightly and bake or BBQ for 20 to 30 minutes. We put it in the oven or BBQ with whatever is cooking at the time and check on it periodically. You will be able to smell the aroma.
- It’s done when soft and squishy when pressed.
- Squeeze to spread on crackers or add to potatoes, vegetables, dips, ice cream.
Notes
Our favourite garlics for roasting are the Porcelain varieties, especially Dan’s Russian and Fish Lake #3. The taste is rich and nutty and the large cloves are easier to squeeze from the papery skins.
Although any garlic tastes good roasted…
