Learn how to roast garlic in the oven with these simple step-by-step instructions. A wonderful addition to soups and stews, roasted garlic sweetens food with its distinctive sharp taste and gives it a deep flavor and silky texture.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C), ensuring the oven rack is in the middle position.
Using a sharp knife, carefully slice off the top quarter of each garlic bulb to expose the cloves' flesh.
Keeping the stem intact, gently loosen the cloves with your fingers.
Drizzle approximately 1 teaspoon of olive oil over the exposed flesh of each garlic bulb and sprinkle with a pinch of salt.
Individually wrap each prepared garlic bulb loosely in aluminum foil, ensuring they are fully covered.
Arrange the foil-wrapped garlic bulbs on a sheet pan for stability during roasting.
Check the garlic after 40 minutes by opening one packet and squeezing it to test the tenderness of the center clove. If needed, reseal and roast for an additional ten minutes until caramelized and deep golden brown.
Allow the roasted garlic to cool, then squeeze the pulp out of each clove.
Mash the garlic with the back of a fork until pureed and pack into a small glass jar or ramekin until ready to use.
