Learn how to roast garlic cloves to perfection for a flavorful addition to your dishes.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and the perfect roasting temperature.
Slice off the top quarter of each garlic head to expose the cloves.
Cutting evenly helps the cloves roast uniformly.
Place each garlic head on a piece of aluminum foil and drizzle with olive oil, ensuring the cloves are well coated.
Coating with oil prevents the garlic from drying out and enhances the flavor.
Wrap the garlic heads tightly in the foil and place them on a baking sheet.
Sealing the foil traps steam, making the garlic tender and caramelized.
Roast in the oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the cloves are soft and golden brown.
Check for doneness by gently pressing a clove; it should feel soft.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of their skins.
Use a small spoon to help extract the cloves if needed.
Serve as a spread, mix into dishes, or enjoy as is for a burst of flavor.
