Garlic adds so much flavor to most meals – I love the creamy buttery texture and the lightly caramelized and sweet flavor. It takes a recipe to the next level.

How To Roast Garlic In The Oven

It is easy to roast garlic cloves in the oven. Remove the papery skin of the bulb and cut the top of the garlic bulb so the top of the cloves is exposed. Drizzle some olive oil and place them in an aluminum foil pouch. Place the foil pouch on a baking sheet and roast at 400 F for about 40-50 minutes, or until soft and golden.

Once cool, squeeze out the cloves of garlic and mash them to use in recipes, or store them in an air-tight container in the fridge for a week.

Storage

You can keep roasted garlic in an airtight container in the fridge for about a week. You can either submerge the whole garlic cloves in olive oil and cover them, or store the mashed garlic in an air-tight container.
