Roasting garlic transforms its pungent raw flavor into a rich, caramelized delicacy that's perfect for spreading on bread, mixing into sauces, or enjoying as a topping for various dishes. This recipe combines garlic with rosemary and a lemony olive oil mixture to elevate the simple yet delicious flavors.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Peel the garlic cloves to remove the papery skin.
- Slice the tops off the garlic cloves to expose the tops of the garlic.
- In a small bowl, combine the chopped rosemary, olive oil, and lemon juice.
- Mix well to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Place the garlic cloves on a piece of aluminum foil or in a small oven-safe dish.
- Pour the rosemary, olive oil, and lemon juice mixture over the garlic cloves, ensuring they are well coated.
- If using aluminum foil, wrap the garlic cloves tightly in the foil.
- Place the wrapped garlic or the oven-safe dish in the preheated oven.
- Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the garlic cloves are soft and golden brown. Check occasionally to make sure they don’t burn.
- Once the garlic is roasted, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly.
- Unwrap the foil if used and transfer the garlic to a serving dish.
Tips:
- Choose fresh garlic cloves with tight, unblemished skin for the best flavor.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure even roasting.
- Wrap the garlic cloves in aluminum foil to prevent them from drying out and to concentrate their flavor.
- Allow the roasted garlic to cool slightly before handling to avoid burns.
- Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of their skins for a smooth, paste-like texture.
