Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). (5 minutes)
02 Step
Recipe View
Prepare the garlic: Using a sharp knife, carefully slice off the top quarter of each garlic head, exposing the individual cloves. Remove any excess papery skin, but leave the head intact. (10 minutes)
03 Step
Recipe View
Arrange the garlic: Place the garlic heads, cut-side up, in a baking dish or on a baking sheet. A muffin tin can also be used to keep the heads upright. (2 minutes)
04 Step
Recipe View
Drizzle with oil: Drizzle each head generously with olive oil, making sure the oil penetrates between the cloves. If using, tuck rosemary or thyme sprigs around the garlic heads. Season lightly with sea salt and pepper, if desired. (3 minutes)
05 Step
Recipe View
Roast: Bake for 40 minutes to 1 hour, or until the garlic cloves are soft and golden brown, and easily squeezed from their skins. The roasting time will vary depending on the size and freshness of the garlic. Check frequently after 40 minutes. (40-60 minutes)
06 Step
Recipe View
Cool and serve: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before handling. To serve, squeeze the soft, roasted garlic from the cloves onto your favorite accompaniments. (10 minutes)
Choose firm, heavy heads of garlic for the best flavor and texture.
For a deeper flavor, try adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the olive oil before drizzling.
Roasted garlic can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. It can also be frozen for longer storage.
Don't discard the infused olive oil in the baking dish! It's delicious drizzled over vegetables or used as a dipping sauce.
