Roasting Garlic in the Oven

Roasting Garlic in the Oven is Always Interesting!  

It’s no big deal really when roasting garlic in the oven. But the outcome does. Roasted garlic will really get the best out of your mouth and stomach. The smell alone will be mouth watering enough and you have to do your best not to be impatient until it’s cooked.

Cut the upper pointed part using a sharp knife. You can place the bulb on its side in order to do this conveniently. Cut as conservatively as you can but making sure at the same time that the entire clove tips are included. 

You can wrap each clove separately with tin foil or you can lump them in one piece. Be sure all heads are covered entirely. Before wrapping the heads, pour a liberal amount of olive oil or corn oil on each bulb making sure that each clove are perfectly wet. Add salt and pepper if you like. Or you can smear them with some butter or cheese.  

Load in a preheated oven for approximately one hour over a pan. The oven should be at 3500 F. You can take them out from the oven and remove the tin foil. If your beers are cold enough and your barbecues are ready then let the feast begin. You can eat it whole or mash it with a fork. 

There are other ways to enjoy your roasted garlic. You can add it as ingredients to your garlic soup, garlic chicken, garlic sauce, and more. Roasting garlic in the oven is one way of enjoying garlic to the hilt. If it’s your first time to eat it, a dash of sugar will help remove the stinging taste if you’re not old enough for a beer or a shaker of alcohol. 

Garlic has so much more to offer helping us as food and medicine. Let’s make it a habit of eating garlic and one way of doing it is by roasting them in the oven.
