Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Cut the top off a garlic bulb, drizzle with olive oil, and wrap it in aluminum foil.
Roast for 30-40 minutes until the cloves are soft and golden.
Store the roasted garlic in the fridge for up to a week, or freeze it for longer preservation.
Serving and Storage Tips:
When using garlic stored in oil, always take out what you need with a clean spoon to prevent contamination.
If freezing garlic cloves, use them directly in cooked dishes; frozen garlic won’t work well for raw preparations.
Roasted garlic can be spread on bread, mixed into mashed potatoes, or added to soups for a delicious, mellow flavor.
Store garlic-infused oil in the refrigerator and use within a week to avoid any health risks related to oil spoilage.
Garlic Paste: Blend peeled garlic with olive oil into a smooth paste and store it in an airtight container. This is perfect for adding to recipes where a smooth consistency is desired.
Herb-Infused Garlic Oil: Add fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme to the olive oil when storing garlic. This creates a fragrant, flavored oil that can be used in a variety of dishes.
