Quiver0f10 Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 I want to roast some garlic but have no idea how to do it. Could someone be kind enough to explain the process to me. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amira Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 I just drizzle a few whole, unpeeled (you can take off some of the skin if you lilke, just be sure to leave at least one layer on) heads of garlic with a bit of olive oil and then bake them in the oven at 375-400 for about 30-45 minutes. The timing is pretty forgiving; I've pulled them out sooner if I was in a hurry, or left them in for an hour if I wanted really soft garlic. You can cut off the top of the head if you like before roasting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonia Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 When in doubt, check Allrecipes - there are some recipes listed on here for roasted garlic, just need to scroll through - http://allrecipes.com/Search/Recipes.aspx?WithTerm=roasted+garlic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j.griff Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 I have always cut a head (or two) of garlic in half (we LIKE garlic, LOL) and generously poured olive oil on both halves (in an oven safe dish) and baked it at 350 for 20-30 minutes. A friend of ours does the same thing, but cooks it at 250 for an hour or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carol in Cal. Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Jean, The methods you have heard so far work fine, but a chef gave me a shortcut. He said to cut off the bop of the head of garlic, and simmer it covered in milk for 5 minutes. Then drain and rinse it, pour oil on it, and just bake it for a few minutes to let the olive oil soak in. The milk softens it more quickly, and keeps it moist. The oil just finishes it off. I have tried this both ways, and either way tastes great. The results are similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
