Roasted Garlic Bulb
For years I steamed garlic daily to serve alongside our meals, later I started roasting garlic bulbs. Whole roasted garlic has a much better flavor, it is also milder and sweeter than raw or steamed. I love garlic, not only for its flavor but also for its Nutritional Benefits,
How To Make Roasted Garlic Bulb?
- Preheat oven 400 degrees F. Remove the outer skin of the garlic bulb and discard.
- Trim about 1/4 inch off the top of the garlic,
- Place garlic on a piece of parchment paper and or foil paper.
- Drizzle olive oil on the top of the garlic.
- Cover garlic and bake for 40-50 minutes or until garlic is soft and golden brown.
- Remove garlic from oven and allow to cool. Sprinkle a little salt over roasted garlic then simply squeeze the base of the garlic to remove the soft flesh.
- Store garlic by placing it in a jar, cover with olive oil and refrigerate for no more than one week.
