I remember the first time I ate roasted garlic – it was served with fresh bread at a restaurant. Buttery and sweet, it was smooth and silky, with a mellow garlic flavor. I was hooked and could probably eat an entire bulb by myself.

Roasting garlic at home is so easy. All you need are whole garlic bulbs and a sharp knife. Remove any loose skin and cut off the top part of the bulb, exposing some of the flesh. Drizzle a little extra virgin olive oil on top.

Wrap in foil and bake for an hour at 400 degrees.

    I LOVE roasting garlic. . I’m Korean so I grew up with the smell everywhere in our house! 😛 I read that some people will even roast garlic before a dinner party just so the house will smell good when guests arrive! 🙂 love this!

    Jeanette I love roasted garlic! I usually just throw mine in the oven in foil – but next time I am trying your method of drizzling with olive oil first.
