Here's a polished version:====== Roasted Garlic ======
Two methods for roasting garlic, each yielding a slightly different result. The olive oil method produces richer, more complex garlic with nutty caramelized notes. The whole bulb method yields a cleaner, sweeter garlic with a purer flavor.
Olive Oil Method
Ingredients
- 1 head of garlic
- Olive oil
Directions
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Remove loose outer papery skin from the head of garlic, leaving the cloves intact and individually wrapped.
- Slice off the top of the head to expose the interior of the cloves.
- Place the garlic on a sheet of foil. Drizzle olive oil over the exposed cloves, allowing it to seep into the cuts.
- Wrap the foil tightly around the garlic.
- Roast for 45 minutes, until the cloves are completely soft and golden.
- Let cool slightly, then squeeze from the root end to extract the roasted garlic.
Whole Bulb Method
Ingredients
- 1 head of garlic
Directions
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Remove loose outer papery skin from the head of garlic, leaving the cloves intact and individually wrapped. Do not cut the bulb.
- Wrap the garlic in foil.
- Roast for 45 minutes, until the cloves are completely soft.
- Let cool slightly, cut off the root end, and squeeze to extract the roasted garlic.
Notes
- Store roasted garlic in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- Cloves should be completely soft and spreadable when done. If resistant, return to the oven in 5-minute increments.
- For the olive oil method, the leftover oil is excellent for bread dipping or sautéing.
