You’ll love or detest this recipe.  I personally love the smell of roasting garlic.  Which is a good thing since you have to roast it for around an hour.

The caramelized deliciousness goes great in mashed potatoes, smeared on toast or a fresh baked slice of French bread.  It’s great on your favorite pasta dish or served with butter over fettuccine, the possibilities are endless.

Once you roast it put it in an air-tight container and keep it in the fridge or freeze it.

Ingredients:

  • 1 head of garlic
  • Olive oil
  • Salt
  • Pepper

Directions:

Cut top off garlic head.  Place in a sheet of foil and drizzle with 1 or 2 tbsp. of olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper.  You can add any herbs and spices you like.  Use your imagination or keep it simple.

Wrap foil loosely around garlic and place in a 350 ⁰ pre-heated oven.  Roast for 45 – 60 minutes.  Roasting time depends on how large and fresh your garlic head is. 

Once tender and caramelized remove from oven.  Cool for about 10 minutes then squeeze the pulp from the paper like casing of the individual cloves.

Store and use as needed.

Cindy A. Rose began writing for the Tentacle in 2011 trying to raise awareness over things happening within Frederick County Public Schools. She began keeping a close watch on FCPS when she learned there were not enough air conditioned buses for special needs children during the hot Maryland summers. The Tentacle offered her a place to share her concerns with her community when local newspapers didn’t always. Cindy had the opportunity to buy the Tentacle from creator/owner John W. Ashbury in 2019, so she did. She believed then, as she believes now, our communities, friends and neighbors have important things to say that needs to be shared with those living around them. Large corporate news companies don’t always share in those passions and concerns. The Tentacle is a local news, commentary and community website run by citizens, for citizens. Its success depends on your participation.
