Learn how to make sweet, caramelized oven roasted garlic with just two ingredients. This easy meal prep staple is perfect for spreading, sauces, soups, and more.
Preheat your oven to 375° F. Remove the loose, papery outer skin from the garlic bulb, then slice off the top to expose the cloves.
Place the garlic on a piece of foil, drizzle evenly with olive oil, and wrap tightly to form a sealed pouch. Set it on a baking sheet.
Roast for 45–50 minutes, until the cloves are soft, golden, and fragrant.
Let cool slightly, then squeeze the cloves out of the bulb. Mash and use as desired, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
Notes
Roasted garlic should be soft and spreadable, almost like butter.
If still firm, continue roasting in 5–10 minute increments.
Roast multiple bulbs at once for easy meal prep.
Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or freeze for longer storage.
