Not only is roasted garlic delicious spread onto bread as an appetizer, it's a great component to add to lots of dishes. Once it is roasted in the oven, the garlic mellows in flavor and becomes a spreadable, paste-like consistency. It is considerably milder than raw garlic, and a great addition to mashed potatoes, pastas or dips. Not only that, but it is super easy to do, and it makes you look like a true gourmet!
Cut the top off of the garlic bulb, leaving bulb and outer peel intact. |
Drizzle with a little bit of olive oil. |
Season with salt and pepper. |
Wrap in a square of foil and bake at 350 degrees F for about 45 minutes to one hour. |
Let cool, then squeeze the roasted garlic from the bulb. It is now ready to spread on toasted bread, or add to your favorite recipe! |
