Roasted Garlic
Take a whole garlic bulb and cut off the top, exposing the garlic cloves. Place
in a dish that can go in the oven and sprinkle with olive oil. I do several at a
time as it holds well in the refrigerator. Bake at 400°F. for 25 minutes. Let
cool slightly before using.
To use garlic squeeze at the base and the cloves should pop out.
Garlic gets sweet when it is baked this way. Try adding mashed garlic cloves to
mashed potatoes for a change. |
