Roasted garlic is a wonderful ingredient that can add lots of complimentary flavor to almost any recipe or dish. It’s also really good for you and is packed with nutrients like fiber and Vitamins C and B6. If you ever have a cold skip the medicines and instead pop some garlic since it has been proven to boost your immune system and helps reduce the severity of symptoms associated with the flu and common cold.
There are many other health benefits associated with the hearty bulbs, as well as various alternative ways in which they can be used. However, one of the most universal and beloved ways we take our garlic is by roasting it first.
Roasting garlic helps to lessen the stinky effect it has on our breath and it tones down the powerfully strong taste it has in its raw form. Instead, the heat transforms it into a sweeter, less bitter, and more rich flavor that’s perfect for use in dishes, dressings, dips, sauces, spreads, and so on.
Try the following method to perfectly roast up some delicious garlic in the comfort and convenience of your kitchen at home.
First pre-heat your oven to 400 degrees. Take a bulb of garlic and remove the dried, papery outer skin from around it. Carefully cut off the top of the bulb with a sharp knife. Take a piece of tin foil and lay it flat, place an equal sized piece of parchment paper directly on top of the foil, and finally place the garlic atop the parchment paper.
Drizzle the garlic bulbs with some olive oil and wrap them up neatly and tightly in the foil. Place them on a pan in the oven and roast for one hour. Remove when time is up, unwrap, and allow the garlic to cool. Gently squeeze the garlic bulbs to remove the cloves and serve or use them right away. You may also place them in a covered storage container and keep them for a few days in the refrigerator.
It is simple and easy to roast your own garlic and enjoy its many benefits. Now you can spread it on crackers, use it in dips or different dishes, and upgrade the tastes of whatever you happen to whip up in the kitchen!
