Roast garlic

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:

2 garlic cloves
6g
1 tbsp rosemary
16g
2 tbsp olive oil
27g
1 tbsp lemon juice
5g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it's hot enough to roast the garlic to perfection.
2. Prepare the Garlic:
- Peel the garlic cloves to remove the papery skin.
- Slice the tops off the garlic cloves to expose the tops of the garlic.
3. Make the Marinade:
- In a small bowl, combine the chopped rosemary, olive oil, and lemon juice.
- Mix well to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
4. Coat the Garlic:
- 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.
5. Wrap and Roast:
- 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.
6. Roast the Garlic:
- Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the garlic cloves are soft and golden brown. Check occasionally to make sure they don’t burn.
7. Serve:
- 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.

Roasting garlic is an easy way to impart a deep, savory flavor to your dishes. With just a few simple ingredients and a bit of time in the oven, you can create a versatile ingredient that enhances everything it touches. Enjoy your perfectly roasted garlic on bread, in dressings, or as a flavorful boost to your favorite recipes.
