How To Roast Garlic
Many equate garlic with a very pungent flavor, but roasted garlic has a delicious mellow nutty flavor.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Remove as much of the paper from 2 whole heads of garlic as you can without breaking apart the cloves. Place garlic heads in 1/4 cup water in a small baking dish. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Cover with aluminum foil or baking dish cover.
Put into oven and baste with olive oil/water mixture after 30 minutes.
Bake until garlic is soft and easily pierced with a thin-bladed knife, about 1 hour total cooking time.
Note:
Quick method: Spread individual unpeeled cloves evenly on cookie sheet, drizzle with oil, and bake about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until soft.
Squeeze cloves onto freshly baked bread or into a sealed, refrigerated container to be used within 3 days.
Recipe can be easily multiplied for garlic freaks. ( like me )
