Roasted Garlic Recipe
Roasted Garlic recipe with whole garlic heads and olive oil baked until soft and spreadable for using in sauces, dressings, mashed potatoes, and more.
Servings: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 3 heads garlic
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Cut the tops off of the head of garlics (enough to expose the top of the garlic cloves) and remove any loose papery outer layers.
- Place garlic cut side up on enough foil to wrap the garlic. Drizzle oil on the exposed surface of the garlic. Wrap the sides up and place the foil wrapped garlic onto a baking tray.
- Roast in the preheated oven until golden and soft, about 45 minutes or up to 60 minutes. Roasting time will vary based on the size and type of garlic.
- Set aside to cool, then squeeze out the soft cloves and use in recipes as needed.

Notes
My Top Tip: Go for fresh, firm garlic cloves. If your garlic is sprouting or shriveled up, roasting will make it bitter!
Storage: You can store your whole roasted garlic in the fridge in an airtight container covered in oil for about 2 weeks.
Freezing: To freeze your roasted garlic, mash your cloves (without the skin) and place the paste in an ice cube tray. Once frozen, remove and place in a freezer bag. Frozen garlic will last about 6 months!
